HI! I go by Retrogirl02 online. I'm a stay at home mom of 3 little munchkins, who I absolutely adore. When I'm not busy changing diapers, playing in the park, or looking for strawberry shortcake items, I do manage to get a tiny bit of quilting in. Generally, it's very late at night and cuts into my sleeping time but OH SO worth it.
Quilting completely relaxes me and gives me a little alone time amidst the chaos. I'm currently working on a grandmother's flower garden for my niece & collecting fabrics for my next 2 projects---or at least, that's the plan today. Things change quickly in a house of 5 as many of you know.
My next will likely be a bear's paw and then I have a red/white true charm quilt that I've REALLY been wanting to do for quite a while. Then, another grandmother's flower garden & something contemporary which brings me to my late 70s by all estimates. LOL.
I found the board while looking for fabric swaps and joined just last night. I look forward to meeting some people with similar interests. I'm a relatively new quilter and I have an embroidery machine (an old Janome) that I've not had time to master----SOMEDAY. Oh, to have free time. I'd like to learn to sew, but again have put that on the back burner. I have collected some wonderful patterns that I know will make me incredibly fashion forward (hmm, or backwards maybe) in the future.
I'm content to get a little piecing done for now & have only done hand quilting in the past other than a little quilt as you go project. So, that's me & I look forward to chatting with you all.
Thanks, Retrogirl
