I have been quilting since my husband suprised me with a Jenome machine for Christmas (I was in tears). That was about 5 years ago. With 3 kids, husband and a farm it's hard to find time for my hobby. I have one son in Kuwait with the Army, and another son (12) and daughter (9) at home. I have lived in NE Kansas all my life.

Hi and Welcome from Northern Indiana ! Trust me we all wish we had more time for our hobby but life seems to get in the way :wink: Need any help, just ask lots of friendly helpful people here :lol:

Thanks for the reply. I feel at home already. My husband and I have been to Indiana a couple of times to an engine show in Portland.

Welcome to the board, and big waves from Ireland, I hope you like it here, and manage to get sitting at that sewing machine a bit more often.

I love the quote at the bottom of your page.
