Hi, I have been only quilting for about 3 years, but I LOVE IT!! I do not like to do house work, I would much rather quilt. We just moved to Pflugerville, TX one year ago from Atlanta, GA. We moved to Atlanta from West Monroe, LA and we had lived there for 20 years, we are originally from Kankakee, IL. We moved to the south in 1985 and we love it. I would love to talk to others that love quilting has much as I do. Hope to hear from you.
