Hello from Fort Worth, Texas

My name is Irene, I live in Fort Worth with my Long Haired Chihuahua "Elvis", he is almost a year old. If I'm not here I spend a lot of time in Oklahoma city with my eldest daughter and in San Antonio with my dad. I also spend time with my youngest two kids In Amarillo, Tx but that is still really hard for me to do since that is where my hubby and I spend almost 28 years together.

My hubby passed a couple of years ago after a long illness at a young age of 48. We have three kids and seven grandchildren. I have been sewing since I was about in the forth grade, thanks to my grandmother and started quilting in my late twenties.

I am so glad I stumbled on to this sight. I promised my friend I would get back into quilting again, I decided to start a memory quilt for myself. I think this sight will be good for me, as I go back to what I missed so much....quilting.

I hope to make good friends here and learn some new things about quilting.

Welcome from the panhandle of Texas!

Thank you all for the sweet welcomes. Can't wait to get involved here. I've been looking at the swaps, thinking of doing one for Oct.

I miss the Panhandle! I was raised in Hereford, we raised our kids between Amarillo and Canyon and we use to have family gatherings at Palo Duro Canyon (our little grand canyon) when I was a kid and then when our kids were little. I miss Friday nights in the fall and the fair. Great little memories.
