We make the best of the cold days, we have an excuse to stay in and quilt all day! It must be the same for those hot & humid days you guys have.
Do you always add ribbons and bows to your letters? It makes me smile and think you must be a colorful, creative person. Do you have any pictures of your work? I'd love to see them.

well, actually I meant, lol, I'd 'bottle' the sunshine and tie ribbons on those, but enjoyed reading the way you see me. I do think of myself as colorful, just bc I love so many different things, and I try to be creative. I have tons of sewing over the years, but just started quilting. I'd never been exposed to it. I live in Florida, and ppl here do quilt, but not as much I imagine. That's why I came to this board, to talk to ppl who understand sewing, quilting etc. etc. etc. I have chronic health disorders so look for the "rainbows" anywhere they are to be found. I hope occasionally I bring them with me. :D

Hi quiltncrazy

It's funny you should say you just began quilting because I've sewed for many years also and just started to quilt. I knew I would become obsessed with it, and so I have. I do take quilting lessons from a wonderful lady in RI who has a sewing shop. We are working with embroidered quilts with her and then I have a dear friend who comes to my house to sew once or twice a week. We are working on the same quilt right now and will work on separate ones when they are finished.

Today it started snowing this morning and it's supposed to snow all night. Luckily I only work part time and I don't have to go out tomorrow. Take care and let me know about your projects.

I would have loved to take a class, but health does not permit me to "schedule" anything, so whatever I know, besides tons I have already learned right here on this board, I have taught myself. Mostly by trial and error after reading lots of books and magazines. I take them with me everywhere.
I can't possibly do all that interests me, but we have a post on here called "whats next?" and one called "what's next in pictures". Both were started by a wonderful lady named Melissa, or Jim'sGem. We are all motivating each other to finish ufo's, start that "idea" that you have been saving, or whatever each person's personal goals are for 2009.
I have made no 'certain' predictions bc of the unpredictablility of my life, but hope to at least finish as many ufo's as i can and just keep producing something that makes ppl around me happy and keeps my mind off discomfort. thats hard. right now, I have been helping my daughter and her hubby a lot, bc she is in hospital. probably getting out tomorrow. I try to post on what's next at least once a week. It helps me a lot. Right now, no pics from me, cause camera is broke, but as soon as I can remedy that and learn how to post them, I would love to join in with that too. off to post on what's next. really nice talking to you. :wink:
