I have enjoyed reading all the inputs and admiring all the quilts. I decided it was the time to introduce myself after the recent post. Thanks for the push!! I have been sewing since I was young but only started quilting about 10 years ago. My hubby retired from USAF and we moved to East TN near the Smoky Mountains. I worked with local school system as an aide but taught computer classes until the principal decided to add more to my day. I didn't think with aging I could do this as at the age of 10 I became totally paralyzed. I had been sticken with a rare disease but after months of therapy I regained use of my right side and learned to walk again and life went on. I have always found a way to adapt to whatever I wanted to do. When I decided not to add more to my school day I was more less became Retired. I was very upset but in the end it was a blessing!! More money staying home and time to learn how to Quilt!! Now I am learning how to use my new Bernina 830 and my Avante 18 Handi-Quilter. I am so happy I found the Quilting Board!! Happy Quilting to All!!!
Other hobbies include riding our 105th Anniversary Harley and Camping. Hopefully, we be home for awhile to sew.

Hi and welcome from another East Tennessee quilter

I live near Vonore, TN about an hour from Knoxville. I am planning on going to the Knoxville Quilt Show probably on Thursday and possibly Friday. I will be the gal wheeling around in her blue wheel chair with a big blue/green Bernina bag on the back. I have been having trouble with my arthritic knee. It keeps giving out when it wants and my back was to the point of where I could not walk or stand for long periods of time so my family insisted I get my new mode of transportation. I must say it sure has made life enjoyable again. So be sure and flag me down and introduce yourself.

Welcome to the Quiltingboard. I am glad you joined us./Regards, Dorothy

Hi Dorothy,
Where is Crump, TN? My hubby and I ride our Harley and each year and work on doing the "ABC's of Touring". We try to get the alphabet of towns, counties and then we get one point for each state. It is fun gathering points and seeing different towns. May have to look Crump up. Neat name!!
