I retired from working in the car business a few years ago when my husband and I bought a farm as part of our long term retirement plans. We enjoy spending time with family and especially grandchildren (currenty have 2 granddaughters and our youngest is expecting twins next spring). I have many projects in progress and enough supplies to start many more, but I don't think I am alone in this from what I have read on the quilting board. I have been following this board for awhile and have truly enjoyed everyone's sharing of the joys and trials of quilting and crafting in general
