Hi , I'm Valerie from Missouri. I stumbled across this site and I'm impressed. If I learn half as much as I've learned from the cattle message boards (we raise registered Angus Breeding Stock) I shall be greatly blessed. Plus, new friends are always a blessing. I look forward to increasing my skills and knowledge.
My first quilts were lap qults for my sons in 1981. They were rail fence.. had to lay out the pieces on the floor to keep it all straight. I've mostly made simple but would like to try more complicated pieces as I increase my skills.
