Me too! Me too! Oh, I am so with you. My final day is December 31, 2017! (OK, I will continue to teach part-time but I am leaving my full-time faculty position.) My double closet is full of fabric just waiting for my rotary cutter and sewing machine. I am doing a dry run on retirement this summer and working just 3 days a week. Oh I have so enjoyed working quilts on quilts everyday. I have 4 that are in some stage of completion as I work through scraps, exchange pieces and a mound of baby quilts for family! I am loving it! I am looking forward to cold winter winds, toasty little condo, snug sewing room and a lifetime of patterns just waiting to be tried.
Congratulations a decision well made and plan in place. Wohoo!
