I came accross this board coincidentally when I was looking for some quilting infos. Since May 2009 I've been receiving weekly circulation, posting some pictures and exchange emails with some members but I have never filled in this forum. My name is Emma Gunawan, I live with my wonderful DH for 35 years in Jakarta with no children. I am a retiree of an American Bank and an American Life Insurance companies after 34 years of continues services. For the last 5 years I am fully retired and have plenty of time to pursue my hobbies and being a good house wife. I did not have time to do all of those when I was employed. I do oil painting on canvas, painting on glasses, planting and gardening. Just recently I started with quilting. I learned sewing and embroidering from my late mother since I was a little kid. Quilting is new to me. I found this forum's members are quite helpful, informative and funny too. Looking forward to seeing you later. Happy New Year 2010.
