I have been enjoying Quilter's Message Board for several months now, but haven't participated. Time to change that! I live outside of Denver in the "knee hills" (a bit higher than the foot hills) and am a retired high school English teacher. Besides quilting, I love gardening, reading, hiking, watching foreign movies, and playing with my six grandkids. I belong to a large quilting guild in the Denver area, and enjoy being an active member of two small bees within that larger group. We inspire one another.
