Greetings from the SW!! I've been quilting for about 5 years, self taught. Never took a formal class but joined a quilt group and learned tons from those gals. Picked up lots of techniques by reading other quilting forums.
:cry: My mom is a victim of nursing home neglect/abuse and now lives with us...DH, and two sons (23/17). I've taken a leave of absece from my job (Elem School Libraria) to stay home to care for her. She bed ridden, stage 4 bed sore, unable to wak. Really sad shape.
I used to jokingly say that quilting was my theapy but since Mom fell in Jan and broke her hip, quilting or playing with fabric truely IS my coping mechanism (sp).
I love this hobby and find myself playing with fabric every day. Poor family is starving but they know how to work the microwave and Buger King is just up the hill. :mrgreen:
Enough about me. Back to the machine.

If you never work on it, you'll never finish it!
