I'm a new born "newbie" which means I haven't started yet except to read a couple of quilting bookS!! And read this BOARD and converse with a lot of really nice people. I need simple straight forward directions and I tend to do a lot of research before I actually start something. LOL I'm a night person and am very crabby in the mornings; that is unless I've stayed up all night. I work part time at home doing books for a business but other than keeping grandbabies occasionally, I have free time.
