I'm Back!!!
Hi all,
I guess I'm not really "new" to the boards. I used to be very active on the boards several years ago and because life got in the way I have not sewed much! I went off the boards 3 years ago-when I started teaching. I am happy to be back, although I don't sew nearly as much as I would like. I'm hoping I can get re-inspired by the boards again. I have a new nephew due in August and my brother is getting married in October, so I have some quilts I need to get busy on. I am now completely done with my schooling (I hope!-2 clear special ed credentials and a master's degree). I'm hoping this accomplishment gives me my life back. I teach students with profound autism, so I NEED a stress reliever on my off time.

Hi Magnolia,
I remember you from years back. Like you, my more recent board time has been hit or miss but I'm trying to be a bit more regular lately. Also like you, I've been a special ed teacher - LOVE autism as a uniqueness - but have recently gone for another master's degree in counselling psychology and now have a whole new interaction with students as a counsellor. My quilting has evolved in that I always finished my quilts but now have collected some UFOs. Not sure how to fix this.

hmm, yes. I always finished my quilts too...or so I thought! Who knew I had a whole drawer full of UFOs?!?! Including 1 from one of the Round Robins I participated in. Looks like I've got some work to do!
