"to let the crazies calm down"
But, I am calm!
Sounds like you've had quite the year, Rena. You're definitely an inspiration. I love that I've changed careers (just over a year ago) and now I have more time to devote to hobbies. Through the local Senior Center ladies (I'm 37) and this board, I've "met" so many women who have faced different challenges, and yet are able to keep quilting and enjoying the quilting community through it all. Illnesses, loses, and plain old "getting old". One woman I get to hand quilt with just turned 100! It gives me hope that I have found a passion I can follow until I just can't do any more.
