1997-2008 all i did was help a freind make quillows for her xmas gifts and 2 adult bunny suits for at work at easter time, Dh and a guy played easter bunny. between working and my son getting chemo treatment for 1 1/2 years and 2 operations to take out his lumph nodes for melonoma cancer and then having surgery myself.I didn't touch anything till after my stroke in 2008. it is a slow process and I work on smaller things now and am learning to embroider some when not sewing or on the board. still learning the new techniques they have now before i did it the old way with templates like my ex MIL taught me and i belonged to the quilter Bonesteels club so I went by her template method.glad to be doing things again and that i founds such a great group here. I have been learning more here than i ever did in a class. thank you.
