Hello from Rusty's Mama (refers to our 1 yr old Irish Setter that does not know he is a dog!).

Quilting is a passion and my therapy! I am retired and now have time to devote to many quilting projects - lots of UFOs to finish - and a huge stash to tackle! I am active in a local guild and enjoy making charity quilts. Although my machine quilting talent is limited primarily to stippling, I machine quilt most of my quilts. The current exception is my oldest granddaughter's graduation quilt which is with the longarm quilter as I write this.

I have 6 grandchildren; retired husband (he fishes/I quilt) and am working through a year of grieving - we lost our oldest son (we raised 2 sons) to cancer last June. The guild, quilting, and friends are all part of the healing process.

I look forward to 'meeting' new friends on line.
