Well if you're going to be stuck some where, I guess Florida is an ok place to live. :D We're in Tampa now, but we lived in JAX for 5 years and I used to work at The Olde Green Cupboard (the best fabric store ever).

I homeschool my 15 year old son. My 19 year old daughter is in college 30 minutes away but sews with me every chance she gets. My husband works from home too, so we're always together. It's nice to be together all the time, but when I've had too much, I go hide in my sewing room.

I have two dogs and two cats. One dog and one cat follow me every where and my cat, Mu Mu, knows how to sew. Really! His favorite part is picking out the fabric. :)

My friend Lori in New York sent me here.

It's nice to meet you all.

Take care.

May your bobbin always be full!

That is so cool. We are dying to visit New Zealand. We were just talking about it the other day. My sister has visited and loved it. Her pictures were amazing.

Nice to meet you. Have a blessed day.

:)

Hello and welcome to Florida. We have been in East Orlando for 25 years - still miss the seasons of Wisconsin but have learned to bloom wherever you are. I loved your website store. What a great idea - old books and material for cards! I admire your creativity and artwork.

Thank you Cathay. We have family in St. Louis and I love to visit Illinois in August, just so I can buy a truck load of Illinois corn.

Hey there. Have you been getting lots of rain lately? Do you have a favorite quilt shop in the area?

I was just there on Tuesday. It's pretty up there. Do you live by any natural springs? Are there quilt stores in Gainesville? Also, if you watch this site http://www.oldegreencupboard.com/ogc_retreat.html We have really great retreats. We're meeting up at Camp Blanding in a few weeks. They fill up very fast though. You'll love everyone. It's a nice group of quilters.

Take care.

Nice to meet you. So are you a transplanted snowbird? We go to Orlando a lot but usually stay on the Disney side. :) I've heard there are some quilt stores there. Which ones do you like?

Where in Oklahoma are you? We lived in Gainesville, TX for 6 years or so and my very best friend in the world is from Mass. She's always trying to teach me her accent and I try to teach her mine. :) Take care.
