I am a retired lady that has been quilting for the past 10 years, learning a lot more than I will ever be able to put into much use. When I started out I wanted to do it all.......LOL.....over the last couple of years I have settled into mostly piecing, paper piecing, and machine applique. The hand work does make my hands ache. However, I do enjoin embroider and am in the process now of doing some stuff for Christmas. I like to listen to audio books on my MP3 player and I do this while hand stitching. My DH is also retired and seems to like only TV so I spend most of my time at the machines. Thank God for my hobby.
I look forward to learning and just enjoying you folks here. I do belong to another quilting forum at another site and it has been great inspiration for me.

When I saw Galt, I thought of Ayn Rand's book, Atlas Shrugged. Guess it is time for a re-read. :?

Sorry to be blank, but can you explain the reference???? I did read Atlas Shrugged many, many years ago........

Greetings from outside Sacramento. That's not too far away, is it? We have quite a large contingent of Northern CA quilters on this board.

Judging from all the quilt shows and fabulous quilt from this area, I'm not surprised.......Thanks for posting a "Welcome".

Which ones do you attend?

Every season I go to Auburn, Grass Valley, Yuba City, Sacramento, and I usually pick one or two different ones. The challenge for me is not to visit the vendors or not to buy the store - lol

Wendy,

It's Angela. We (Bob & I) bought your beautiful house in Pioneer. What a small world this is and with the internet it's made even smaller. When I saw your original post I took a chance that it was you, not like I didn't have a few hints.

Hope all is well with you & yours

Welcome from Roscoe, Illinois. Great messages about reuniting with the people who bought your house!!!

Yes, it was great.........small, small world. Seven years ago while using another Forum messaging, I met a lady that lived close by. We met for coffee one day and long story short.....she is now a best friend!
