Hiya girls! I'm Michelle, one of the newbies for 2011. I'm bloggy friends with Michele, so I started following this VQB- and am most excited to join your ranks this time around!
I blog over at ~Michelle's Musings~ so you can spy on my happenings over there. For a quick intro, I'm nearly 29 and live with my hubs & 2 fur children in sunny Los Angeles. But lest you think I'm a city girl, I was born & raised in rural Nebraska, and spent my college years as a Cyclone (which I think Doris & Linda may appreciate). My hubs works in aerospace, which is how we wound up in LA. I'm a CPA, but that doesn't mean I do taxes... I was a (financial statement) auditor, and now I'm an accounting manager for a small furniture distributor. I really started quilting in mid-2008, so I think I'm past the honeymoon phase and this little hobby of mine is going to stick. I'm a great project starter and a poor finisher, which I why I like these bees - a block a month is perfect for my attention span and limited time!
I'm looking forward to working with y'all! :)

WELCOME to One Block Over!
Hi! I'm Doris, the instigator of the 2010 One Block Over Virtual Quilting Bee. We have members spanning the States...New York, Wisconsin, Illinois, California, South Carolina, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Colorado, Kansas and Texas!
Our first month is just around the corner, ladies! I've seen a peek of Michele's plan for us and I think you're gonna like it!
A little introduction of myself... I live in West Des Moines, IA with my sweetie. He has two grown girls in their early 20s and we have two feline "kids" at home. I work a full time University job to "pay the bills" and a part-time Quilt Shop job to "support my habit". I started quilting in my 20s here-and-there, and then seriously quilting on a regular basis about five years ago. My Grandma was a quilter, and my Mom as well, and both were seamstresses that taught me how to sew garments in my pre-teen years. I still sew an item of clothing once in a while, but my fabric obsession revolves around quilting cottons.
Welcome to the Bee, ladies! Can't wait to get to know you better...
