I'm a NICU RN and work the night shift. That works well for those nights I am home and awake while everyone else is asleep. I get quiet time to sew :D
My son was run over a couple years back and all my quilting and sewing things were packed up and stored by my daughter in preparation for bringing him home from the hospital (he is fine now :) ). Where she stored everything is still the family mystery. Even the attachments, power cord and foot control for my then brand new quilting machine went missing. :? I have finally replaced everything I have lost except the finished wall hangings and quilt tops waiting to be quilted :( Those I fear are gone forever although I hold out the unrealistic hope that they will suddenly appear.
I have been quilting for about 9 years and sewing since I was a teen. I also do quite a bit of needlework. I love to design. Several of the missing wallhangings were one of a kind pieces I designed. I am trying to recreate a couple of them but the drawings for the originals are also among the missing.
I am glad to have found this forum and look forward to seeing what everyone is up to.
