Hi Martha, we chatted for a few minutes the other night. I am a hand quilter also. I repair/restore quilts and love every minute of it. Although, I'm getting quite jealous of the quilts that are shown on this site, These quilters are soooo talented and quick. It fascinates me to see all these creations. Beautiful, beautiful work. I would love to see your quilt. Welcome, and Merry Christmas from Tennessee.
