Hubby and I have been married for 28 years, I have 3 dd’s And 1 ds. All but 1 of the kids live out of state. We have 5 grandchildren and one well loved old dog. Have been quilting about 20 years and mostly make charity quilts for Wrap A Smile and Quilts Beyond Borders. In my 3 rd year of retirement and loving every minute of it, as for booms I have been participating quite a few years but couldn’t tell you what year I started. Well maybe I could look at all my blocks sitting there waiting to be sewn together and figure it out but that might be depressing. Love the booms, our wonderful host and all the great ladies who participate. They are “ family”.
