    Default Hi My Name is Carrie

    I have quilted for over 50 years, have had two terrible marriages and in both instances the focus of quilting saved my life. I have been single since February of this year and am finally having a peaceful and creative life.
    bicycling helps offset the sitting that often happens when we quilt and create. Living alone for the first time in many years is an experience and I really appreciate my time now.
    Will be quilting forever and riding my bicycle so happy quilting to everyone and hope to make some new friends.

    Carrie

    Carrie, Welcome. I hope you find comfort and companionship here on the quilting board. Quilter's are a special sort of folk. Glad you found your way here.

    Welcome Carrie, You will meet a lot of great people on this board. Funny thing is, while reading your intro, all I kept thinking was she needs a treadle hooked up to a bicycle so she can ride and sew. HMM maybe we should look into that LOL Love to see any pics of what you have made. Dee
