I have been browsing for a few days and joined several days ago. I have been sewing professionally since I was 12 years old and am 56 now. My hobbies are quilting, shooting sporting clays, coaching high school trap shooting, and cooking. I love this website and the encouragement you give each other. It is a source of peace on a hectic day. Where I live in Nebraska there aren't alot of quilters around close.
