Hello from the state of Mississippi. I am a retired family and consumer science teacher. I am having so much fun with quilting and smocking. I never had time for this in the past so it is a delight to do the things I have always wanted. I am a novice quilter so all of the information you provide will be appreciated.

hello and welcome

Welcome, Kianie, from Joy in Rogers, Texas. I'm so envious that you have been able to retire. I can't afford to retire yet and working just puts a cramp into my quilting fun. But I do like to have running water and air conditioning, so I guess I'll tough it out. You'll be glad you joined this group.
