Hello Everyone!
I live in the cactus patches of Western Texas with my DH who is disabled. I am a care giver to him & we are pretty well housebound.

I was a nurse for 40 years, the last 14 as the head of the nursing department in the ER/Trauma unit of one of the local hospitals.
I took up quilting when I retired as a quieter form of living. (ha ha)

Unfortunately, there were/are no quilters in my family so it is teach myself, an ever evolving process!

We have 2 daughters, 5 grandchildren, & 7 G-grandchildren. (And yes, I am as old as dirt! :mrgreen: )

I like mostly traditional quilting, with applique being my favorite form. I will usually put applique of some sort on the most traditional of patterns.

Thanks for having me on board! Riley

Welcome! It's good to have you on here! An ER/Trauma nurse! Wow! I have a hard time keeping my cool in minor accidents! They sure were blessed to have you, as is your husband now! I'm sure you feel the same about him -- you're blessed to have him in your life!

I've seen your grandmothers garden quilt and it is so beautiful! So is the quilt in your icon! Please show us more! :mrgreen:
