Hi and a big WELCOME from Port Huron, Michigan. We almost could be neighbors.lol
So sorry about all of your heartbreaking losses. Just remember the good times & know that you will never lose them. I too have had many losses. Within a 5 yeard period, I lost all of my family. 1st was grandma, then my Dad, then Mom, my best friend, my father-in-law, my 21 year old neice, then my brother was murdered and as if that wasn't enough, I came very very close to losing my husband. Actually did but he was brought back to life, all within 5 years. My husband did pass away after that. And I sure have been lonely ever since.
Yes, quilting does help to keep your mind off of the "tough" things in your life. Like you, I have never had a lesson or anything. Just made up my mind that I could do it and went right at it. I figured with time, I would get better. And I have.
You have come to the right place for lots of information about quilting or anything else you want to know, or have a question about. And the people here are the GREATEST I have ever come in contact with. No matter what, they are alway here for you, no matter what.
Well, keep your chin up and your sewing machine "singin'" right along.
Again Welcome from Port Huron, MI
