    I am glad I found this site, now I can get some of my questions answered without having to sign up and pay for a class. I just started quilting about a year ago and just love it. I knew one day I would and even bought books on quilting 10 years ago.

    I am 49, married with no kids, just my 2 young boxers (Ruby Lu & Tucker) and my old lady Libby a Boston Shih-Tzu mix. I was a ACO (animal control officer) about 15 years ago and love helping the animals.

    My hobbies are dogs, miniature dollhouses, sewing and now quilting. I am trying to start my own business called "GRR GEAR", I custom make dog jackets out of fleece and other accessories (i.e. lead leashes, beds, etc). My job took everyone to part time and neeeded to earn extra money so I thought I would give it a go. Wish me luck.

    Here are a few quilt things I have made.....

    Hello and welcome from Missouri! I would like to see your doggy fleece jackets. I have a rat terrier who has her sweater stash for our cold weather.
