Hi, this afternoon I was surfing on the net, looking for a quiltforum abroad, and yes, I found this one!!! I'm 48 years, married, 6 kids (2 are actually mine) a dog named Sporty (jack russel terrier). I work at the administration at a high school, but at the end of this year I'm out of a job!! And with the recession going on here it is difficult to find another job. I quilt since 4 years, mostly on the machine!! I also make quilts for a foundation for verry sick children, I cannot keep all the quilts I make, haha.

Hi, I'm new here. I live in North Carolina. I have not been able to work since 1998. I have sewed off and on all my life. I have a embroidery machine and love to make quilts.I am learning on everyone I make. I have made several baby quilts for family members. Most I have learned is been self taught. I have made a lot of mistakes. I am looking forward to learning as much as I can about quilting. Dolores
