Hi, welcome from Lowell, MA, formerly of Litchfield, NH. You have a trickly SIL - love her. I miss my quilting buddy since I moved, and I haven't found new quilting friends. I think you will love this site, I certainly do - it's like chatting with friends and there's never been a quilter that I met that I haven't liked. I'd say that you have definitely been bitten by the quilting bug. It's addictive, but you'll love it. Welcome aboard.
