Hi, my name is Sharon. I am from Alabama.I have been married 25 years. I have
two girls 23 and 18. The oldest is a nurse and the other is going to school to be a math teacher. I have 2 dogs a cat and a rabbit. I work at a vet supply . Long hours so not much time for quilting. I get in a few minutes a day. I am working on the quilt I started in 2000. I know that was a long time ago, only two more blocks to go and then the binding. I hand piece and quilt.because I hate to sit at a sewing machine. My favorite patterns are stars. Sharon |

Hi Sharon Welcome to the group, according to my standards 2000 is not so
long ago. LOL : ) I also have some of those projects just waiting to be quilted. Patty in NWO "BGSuntil" wrote in message ... Hi, my name is Sharon. I am from Alabama.I have been married 25 years.

Hello, my name is Leanne and I'm from FRIGID northern Minnesota! I've been quilting about 8 or 9 years and now that I'm retired from teaching I have a bit more time to do some things. My daughters (34 and 30) saw some flannel table runners at a quilt shop we visited and really liked them so I had them under the tree for Christmas. They were really excited! Now I am gaining another daughter as my son's getting married and she informed me last night that she loves quilts so that will be fun, too! I do have a part time job at a bank and I have many volunteer tasks that I love each month so I really keep busy. Our local quilt shop has a pretty good assortment of fabrics but it surely is fun to go out of town to browse and shop as well! I do more smaller projects than large bed quilts but I have one sampler queen quilt ready to go to the quilter now. (No patience here to do it by hand or machine myself!) That is a great feeling, too. Have a wonderful week, everyone! |

Welcome Leanne, I know what you mean about FRIGID it's probably the same
here, right now it's -42 here and that's without the wind chill. BRRRR I live in Thunder Bay area and it's a good day to hibernate. Where is your local quilt shop? Maybe in my travels I'll be able to stop and check it out. We travel to N. Minnesota quite often and you can never see too many quilt shops. Patty in NWO "Leanne" wrote in message ...

Welcome Sharon. It doesn't surprise me that Stars are
your favorite pattern ... I often see License Plates of your state that have the song title "Stars Fell on Alabama" G AFAIK, we do not have other active posters in AL. Got Chocolate? It is important to have th right kind for your own enjoyment, or to entertain visiting quilters! I will be glad to vet it for you ... just send a pound or two to my Palace here in Virginia.

Hi, Leanne! It's cold today in NC, but you would probably consider 23 a nice
change! Balmy, even!
