I am also a knitter, scrapbooker and rubber stamper. I love to read, collect Dept 56 Christmas Houses, I am a bird watcher and genealogist. I love traveling to lighthouses, garage saling and dabble in jewelry making. I have 2 golden retrievers (both females ages 12 & 13), I am addicted to this site. I have learned so much and know I am a better quilter because of the information you all share! Thank You!
