I finally decided to actually join instead of just reading - I live in Mooresville, NC (about 30 miles north of Charlotte). Previously lived in Phoenix so a big hello to all the Zonies out there. Been quilting since 1979 - back in the handwork only days!! I love hand applique (and hand embroidery) but need to do machine work as there is more time behind me than ahead of me!!! Thanks for all the great information - it's been lots of fun reading about everything.
