Hello everyone I am the March 29[SUP]th[/SUP] Birthday Baby. My full name is Mrs. Billie J. Smith, I have been married to my wonderful husband for 37 years on March 26[SUP]th. [/SUP] Yes, I do get (2) two gifts in March
We have 2 grown children who reside on the East Coast along with 2 grandchildren.
I wanted to start quilting because I always admired quilts from a distance; and thought I would give it a try – since I have a little more time now (i.e. especially in the summer when it is 100 degrees plus in Arizona). I am currently employed with the State of Arizona as a Program Manager.
I am currently working on a quilt entitled Three in one; after I complete this quilt I plan to begin trying my hand at making some of the different blocks. I have only been quilting since August 2013; I have been spending alot of time reading quilt books from the library and online blogs.
I am most proud of making myself step out of the box and try quilting; I have not sewed in 10+ years but it is all coming back to me. I plan on continuing to research and hopefully get more and more skilled at quilting. I did attend the Quilt show here in Phoenix, AZ in early February; and there were some lovely quilts on display.
I look forward to getting to know everyone and enjoying the friendships that I will make through this board.
P.S. My board name is my first initial, middle initial and the last 2 digits of my birth year (I needed something easy to remember)
Have a good evening everyone,
Billie
