I am so happy to have quilting in my life at this stage of life (retirement). It has given me many new friends and it certainly occupies a lot of my time. I was never one to sit and do nothing and I find I sew more now than ever since my husband died. I sew for my family and I donate to a group who makes quilts for a woman’s shelter and I make quilts of Valor. I still love to challenge myself and I signed up to make “Circa1800” by Pam Buda. I will not make another one when this one is finished! I love appliqué and embroidery and I plan to do more. I love scrappy quilts, 1930’s and Civil War reproduction. I have more fabric, sewing machines, sewing memorabilia than I need but will go to a quilt store when anyone want to go. I don’t think I will ever paper piece but I never say “Never!”.
