Hi everyone! I am a SAHM, married 36 years, with a beautiful (almost) 19 year old daughter. I "retired" from a 17 year teaching career when she was born, and have never regretted it! I home schooled her from the beginning--she graduated from HS this past spring. I learned to sew as a teenager, and through the years picked up many needlecraft hobbies, mostly thanks to my Mom, who shared not only her love of needlework, but some of her stash as well. I've mainly done hand embroidery (cross stitch, hardanger, etc.), but throughout it all, kept sewing. I was never interested in quilts, other than admiring them, and understanding the work, as well as the love, that were put into them. Then I found Watercolor Quilt Kits, and they made it sound so easy...I ordered a beginner's kit. I'm not sure I'll do anything but the one kit I have, but I can feel the tug--there are so many beautiful quilts out there! We'll see what happens. Since I have never done a quilt before, I figured I should look for a group that I could go to for help, just in case, and decided this looked like a good place to be. So here I am!
I look forward to getting to know everyone, and I promise I'll try not to be so longwinded next time!! :D
