    Happy Holidays! I found this board last night and got addicted to chatting online right away =) Seems like a great group of folks, I look forward to getting to know ya'll better and getting involved.

    I've been learning to quilt for about 10 years now. I haven't spent a lot of time with it, but have made a few quilts. I still would like to learn how to machine applique and actually machine quilt my tops (I still pay someone to do that for me).

    Welcome from TN, Sweetness. I am relatively new here, too. Aren't they all great? There seems to be someone here who knows the answer to most any question we can come up with...what a blessing!

    Hi and welcome to the board from Lubbock. We retired here about 2.5 years ago after living in the Spring/Woodlands area for 25 years. I love Lubbock but I do miss Houston, except for the humidity. That I don't miss even a little.

    It's been SO hot and humid the last few days too. I HATE it! It actually snowed here two weeks ago...it was so fun! I've been to Lubbock once (I've only lived in TX 13 years) I actually learned that dust storms and tumbleweed are real when I was there =)

    My kitty (Emile or Little Mr. as he is known around here) is Himalayan -- half Persian, half Siamese. And yes, he is spoiled rotten :roll: :roll:
