Hi everyone...my name is Vicki and I'm new to this forum stuff. I have no idea what I'm doing but I love quilting and love to see what everyone else creates. I'm just fascinated by all the beautiful quilts people dream up.

My last quilt was a Christmas present for my dad that I finished on Christmas eve. I know...I'm a procrastinator!! By the time it was finished I hated it...so much so that I forgot to take a picture. What a goober. Needless to say, he loved it. I guess that's all that matters.

I can't wait to learn even more about quilting. I love to see all the good tips.

I have 2 children and a wonderful husband who serves in the US Air Force. We have moved a lot in the past 15 years and currently live in Texas. I'm adjusting but it was the most difficult move to date.

I look forward to learning more about this forum stuff. LOL

He is currently an instructor at Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls. He really likes his job. How do you like Ft. Leavenworth?

We loved Ft Leavenworth and now enjoy Leavenworth but are still involved in many activities on the fort. How are you liking Wichita Falls? We drove through there once and remember it as relatively small town but that was 21 years ago so am sure it has changed some. :) FYI: Lots of great quilting shops in Texas not sure how many are near you though but lots on-line.
