I have been reading this site for some time now--lurking in the background. I saw the post about our stashes and how important they are. I found out the 'real importance' this week. So that post is there.
I sew mostly for everyone else, LOL! Hubby says I give everything away. He is mostly right, shhh, did I just say that? LOL! I have only made kid size quilts but love them and yes, gifts for others. Maybe someday I will have a grandchild to make one for!
I am 58, married--forty years next month, have a son, 28 who is getting married in September, 2 dogs and 2 cats.
And just went through a major flood in our neighborhood.And it isn't over yet. It will take months of work for all of us to recover, if not years.

Hi Laurel and welcome from another NE Ohioan, we spent all morning cutting the tree that's laying on our truck since Sat. night. We called the insurance to report it and they said to leave it till they came out. this morning they called and said to go ahead and cut the tree apart and move it off the truck if we could and they'll just send a tow truck to haul the truck out. Thank God we weren't in it as it caved in the roof on the passenger side.

Hello and welcome, from western Nevada!

Actually we are in the Akron area. I have been reading the site for a long time--oh, bashful me, not!
I am just hoping to have a hot water tank by tonight--cold showers are OK for about the first 10 seconds and then they stink! I want some warm water!
Just happy that all of my stash and my machines were NOT down there, a few years ago they would have been.
