Hi, I'm also new, although I've been reading for a while. I'm also from Michigan & have visited Kalamazoo. I've also been sewing for 50 plus years, made several quilts, but have no pics. Recently bought a digital camera, but haven't learned to use it yet. Enjoy looking at the pictures of all the beautiful things people here make. I think I need to spend more time making my own & less time on the computer! I'll keep looking, I know. lol ...Jan
