Hello

 Thank you for allowing me to join your quilting group.  I’m really looking forward to the challenges!

A bit about myself!  I’m Brenda (usually called Bren) and I live in England with my husband, Frank and two cats.  We have two daughters - Katie lives in Glasgow with her husband John, son Jack (he’s 5) and daughter Robyn (3).  The other daughter, Lizzie, lives in Australia (near Perth) with her partner, Carrie and their son Benji, who is 18 months old.  I’m a retired Maths teacher who enjoys patchwork and quilting (obviously), painting and reading.

I hope to get to know you all better soon.
