Welcome from the "Thumb". I don't get here as much as I'd like, but when I do, I enjoy reading the posts, advice and personal stories. It's a lot of fun and I know that you'll be glad you joined.
Welcome from Midland. There is so much to learn on this board. Very addicting, but so very useful. I have quilted for 10 years and learn something new every day.
I'm from Paw Paw, MI about 15/20 miles from Kalamazoo. I love the quilt shops in this area. Haven't went to all of them but hopefully soon. Thanks for the welcome.
