Hi howdy from Ohio! Whitehouse to be more precise.

I sew because it's cheaper than therapy, and with a retired husband and 2 teenaged boys, I need all the therapy I can get.

My loverly sweet son-in-law says I "sew by numbers." Very true. Small kits are all I have time for these days, but that doesn't keep me from adding to my stash.

Next projects: Pick up (and pay for) 4 quilts being finished at the local shop; think really hard about the kits I got out west last summer (I'm an NPS Ranger, so we travel in the summer), and my always fall back project--make more Christmas wrapping bags. I make very very simple bags out of all that luscious holiday material and wrap everything that way. It's also very quiet! I can sneak around and wrap presents without anyone hearing me.

Hope to meet you all,

Welcome! Ah, yet another for who quilting is therapy... it's gotten me through many a break-up and rough patch. :D

Hey, y'all thanks for the welcome.

I'm now going to spend some quality time trying to upload pics. I've got 4 for today--2 more quilts are at the shop, and I didn't get any pics of the one I did for my sis and bro-in-law. I made it for their 30 anniversary--which was um, well, like 3 years ago. . . Got it back from quilt shop today--she did a fabulous job on it--wow!!

Any ways, I'll switch over to the pics forum. Wish me luck. .
