ElaineL

I'm Elaine and I live in beautiful Bucks County, PA (suburbs of Philadelphia) with my wonderful husband and 2 daughters (a teen and a tween).

I love to cook and bake and make most meals for my family. I'm always willing to give new recipes a try.

My younger daughter and I are also horseback riders. Being around the horses helps me keep my sanity!

I hate to throw anything away that might be useful to someone else (that doesn't mean that it's junk).

I love to sew and knit. I have gotten into quilting lately and am a complete fabric addict! I really like the more modern quilt designs as opposed to traditional ones. I also like to make accessories and some clothes.

Fabrics...cottons...any Modern fabrics...favorite colors are blues, greens, reds, aquas, purple - but I would love to receive other colors that I normally wouldn't pick (trying to expand my fabric collection as I tend to stick with what I like).

Yarns...all wool, particularly merino and alpaca. Love Cascade 220! Also cotton yarn (Peaches and Cream and Sugar and Cream).

All kinds of tea (except mint), chocolate, and interesting food that isn't available in the US.
