Hi everyone. I am also pretty new here and on the board. August will be my one year anniversary. This is my third boom. Since the last one I have been camping with extended family and went on a 9 day cruise in the Baltic states!
It was my first trip to Europe. We took 2 weeks and spent some extra time in Denmark. Sweetie and I cruise with my oldest and her family every year but this was a special trip for all of us. We even got to spend 2 days touring St. Petersburg, Russia. My oldest daughter and I are history buffs, it was her major in college. Fantastic to see it in real life. Now Sweetie and the next door neighbor are prepping for a 20+ day drive from Alabama to Alaska and back, just because they are retired and have the time to do it. Lucky stiffs!! I am stuck working for a living! Plus I have a master's level course that starts online in 2 weeks.
I've been around quilts and quilters all my life. Just kind of picked it up from my mom and her sisters. Sewing is therapy for me when it goes well, a learning experience when it goes poorly. I truly appreciate all the care and work that goes into each block. My ufo pile grows and seldom shrinks, but I am making some wonderful friendship quilts for my grandson-to-be (due in September) to play in as he grows.
