I'm a retired LPN/educator. I loved Home Ec, went to college for 2 years towards a Home Ec Ed degree (young and dumb, quit college to marry my ex -- long story, suffice it to say, he is my ex for a good reason!)
I went to the VoTech and became a CNA, then an LPN and was then trained to TEACH CNA's -- best of both worlds! I loved teaching, and I love being a nurse.
I discovered quilting at a young age, and I still prefer the traditional scrappy quilts.
