Good Morning, Everyone!
I have been reading this site for about a week and I'm happy to be a part of your community. I live on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, on a peninsula that some people don't even realize exists. The area is extremely rural and for the most part, I have to travel about an hour for shopping...that puts it in perspective for most people! I have been sewing most of my life; my father taught me on a treadle machine...my aunt helped me perfect the craft as a teen...and I took my first quilting class around 1977. I still hate choosing fabric but I love producing, especially quilts. I hope to add something small to this group. Thank you. :lol:

Welcome from Gloucester Va, across the bay! We live in an area like yours, and I don't miss the stores at all. But I do miss DSL and fabric stores! Oh well, dial up and online will suffice. You will love it here, very addicting though.

Hi welcome from the southern part of minnesota. I have moved here 5 yrs ago from VB. To a very small town about 25 miles from shopping. I am very formilar to where you are because we would go there all the time. We liked the little shops. Well hope you enjoy it here with us. Hope to see you around at chat and when I come to visit my old friends on the other side. :lol: :thumbup:
