Hello everyone.. I left out a few things.. I am 62, soon to be 63. Grew up on a farm so I love all things ftly working on 3arm related. Was a widow for a while and then I met the most remarkable man on e-harmony and the rest is history. lol. I have 2 grown sons with families of their ow. I have 2 beautiful grandsons, ages 2 and 12 and a beautiful grand daughter age 11. The 2 year old calls me "mema" and he is the true love of my life. I have been sewing for 54 years and starting quilting in 1990. I am currently working on 3 bed quilts and a huge quilt made entirely of civil war repo fabrics. Cannot seem to get enough of these fabrics these days. I have never used Batik and dont really care for them.
I also love 1930's fabrics. I ride a Harley and I am an avid gardener. I have a ginormous veggie garden and can and freeze. I also have many many flower gardens. I also love animals.. we currently have 2 cats that i rescued before i remarried. My faithful cocker died 2 years ago and i am ready for another dog.
My husband turned the neglected and dirty pool house into an amazing studio for me. I will post pics sometime.

I am really looking forward to this swap and getting to know everyone. well enough about me.. cannot wait to start!
Have a blessed and fun day!
