I've never introduced myself--tho I have posted a couple times and been into the chat several times also. I've been at quilting for about 15-20 years now. I'm the mom of two and grandma of two. I spent my first career in the insurance industry, then several years ago decided to change just about everything in my life and among other things, moved to a much quieter rural area. Of course, no insurance jobs to speak of here, so I returned to school (post 50 yo, mind you) got into nursing school and was licensed as a registered nurse last year. I'm still a full time student--now online to obtain my bachelors in nursing. This means quilting has had to take a back seat to the education. I think what I love most about the hobby is the friends that I've made over the years. I believe quilters are the most loyal, generous people I've ever known and I've been blessed to meet so many over the years!
