I've been here for a while, on and off, but never really introduced myself.
I guess it's about time, huh?
My name is Terri. I'm a proud Navy wife of almost 21 years, have been with my husband for that long, well, a few months longer. I have 2 beautiful daughters, one married to a Marine, living in Hawaii and the other is still at home and graduating high school this year.
I live on Guam, having just moved from Hawaii. I am originally from RI and miss New England. I have been fortunate to have Uncle Sam send us to Georgia, Hawaii, back to New England (CT), back to Hawaii and now here on Guam. Lord only knows where we will be going once we are done here, but I am praying we go back to the states. Any place where I can have my 4 seasons back would be nice, as long as it's not the midwest. (no offense to anyone there, but I love the ocean).
I've started sewing when I was in jr high and have been sewing on and off. I ended up making the clothes for my youngest daughter because she loved wearing "girlie" clothes and so I could make dresses for her cheaper than I could buy them. I had been quilting in spurts during that time, but really didn't get DEEP into quilting until about 4 years ago when a neighbor friend of mine got me turned back on to it. Now, it seems I can't stop. Just wish I could keep a quilt for myself. Seems they all get new homes once they are done.
I have 2 spoiled rotten cats, Kuhio and Monique. Both had been rescued from the Humane Society and were born in Hawaii. Kuhio is a world traveler since he traveled back to CT, then to HI, then here to Guam. Monique has only been here to Guam, but will start to be a world traveler soon. Monique also LOVES to help her mommy quilt. Especially when the quilt needs to be pinned for the quilting to occur. She thinks that the pins don't belong in the quilt, so she lays on it and pulls them out. Silly kitty. Kuhio just gives them the "comfy test" to make sure they are comfortable for humans as well as cats. Just don't tell him he's a C-A-T. That upsets him.
I guess that's about it for me. If you think I've left anything out or want to know anything else from me, just ask.
