Well, I guess I will go first, since no one else took the bait... This is only my third swap, so I'm still a fairly new kid on the block. Once the fabric comes I become obsessed with it and all other quilting usually goes on the back burner til I am done with the blocks.. usually less than two weeks per group. Making these blocks for others is all-consuming fun, for me.
Other than that I am mostly a charity quilter. I belong to a great group nearby that makes quilts for hospital patients and shelter kids, as a hug and cheer up gift. It's so rewarding. My blocks from the Summer and Autumn groups this time will go to make 4 beautiful lap quilts to brighten up 4 lives.
In my other life I am a fitness instructor, specializing in working with older adults. I teach Silver Sneaker classes (all formats), and also yoga and water aerobics. Yoga and my seniors are my passion.
This summer I've been trying to deal with an increasing problem with sciatica by getting spinal injections. I'm hoping they will heal my spinal nerves and discs.
Looking forward to playing with some new Boomers in the mix, and also my old friends. Bonnie
