Hello everyone,

I'm not really "new" here (2008) but I only "lurk" aka read this board, never post and haven't ever introduced myself.

I've been quilting for 12+ years. I'd like to make a career out of quilting, even have a website now! I like my current place of employment, pay is good, nice benefits, but I really, really dislike being tied to a timeclock!

Besides quilting, I enjoy redwork, knitting, crocheting, golf, reading, and genealogy. I have traced my family tree to my great-great-grandparents and have located the church where they were married in Poland. I want to travel there soon except I'm little scared of flying over the ocean. :?

Welcome from Pine Grove, CA.

I am also totally hooked on redwork.
Take a look at this website, it's a favorite of mine. (and they have free designs, too!)
I really think redwork is addictive......

Yes I love red work too. I have started a quilt of the first presidents from Washington thru Clinton in red work. It will be beautiful if i do say so myself.
