Went to school for Business and Interior Design...when I graduated from college, I worked in a furniture store for 2 months and hated it and quit.

Since then I have mostly worked retail...managed a craft department in a store, managed a basket/wicker furniture, and stretched fabric store with stitching and trapunto done on the fabrics....worked in a needlework store, then in a quilt store, then bought a quilt store, then had 2 kids, moved, and opened another quilt shop with a partner...all fun jobs...but also a lot of work.

Then my husband passed away and I had to get a "real" job...and for 6 years have worked in healthcare/related jobs...first in the cafeteria at hospital, then on surgical services floor as administrative assistant, and now as patient service representative at large clinic.

I am a retired elementary teacher; married with 3 grown children, 10 grandchildren, & one grandson-in-law.

Iworked with DYFS, (abused children) later taught stained glass.

I am a Jack-of-all trades! I was a teacher, a Salvation Army Officer. I raised a family of 7 (4 of my own and 3 of my brother-in-laws). I retired a few years ago from the newspaper industry where I worked for 20 years. I began as a reporter and ended up managing the local weekly. But, my real love is quilting, carving leather, knitting, crocheting and upholstery (the later of which I ran a business from my basement for a few years while raising my children. I'm still doing most of it when the need arises.
