Hey...I am totally with you! My son left for college last year and my daughter is a SR in high school so she'll be gone in less than a year. My dad lived with us too while I took care of him. So...they all move on and so should we :D I was SO worried about empty nest but honestly quilting has helped me think about what I would lke for the 1st time and we deserve it!! My husband and I talked about where I could set up a quilting area and he gave me the entire main room in our basement!! I am SO excited! I am planning to use my first quilt as my "theme" as I just loved the colors of the fabric. I have had tons of fun planning it all out. I found an old desk for $30 and repainted it and am still working on a cutting table. I'm hoping to post pics of before and after and you need to as well....I'm SO excited for you. HAVE FUN!!
