Welcome Skeet! I also live in sunny Florida, but it feels more like the Dakotas right now with projected temperatures to dip down to 21 degrees tonight! Wonderful that you have joined your local quilt guild. I joined when I first began quilting 8 yrs ago, and it really helped me to learn all the terms (fat quarter, stitch in the ditch etc.), how to make a good quilt become a great quilt etc. So good that you are retired so that you will have ample time for quilting. Enjoy!!!
