I call myself a wannabe quilter when I am referring to my quilting because even though I have been practicing it for the past 5-7 years, I not only learn something new with each project, but don't feel that my skill level reaches the level of "quilter." At least not yet.
In other areas of my life I am a crazy dog lady (we have a pack of eight), reader of (mostly) science fiction, space nut (I want to help colonize Mars or somewhere), addicted to Mah Jong (not the computer version), happy retiree!
