I sewed clothes quite a bit many years ago and then quit altogether and didn't start again until about 3 or 4 years ago. Had never sewn a quilt, saw one a lady had made, fell in love with it and bought it from her....$400 later I decided I could do it myself, so my adventure began. I'm hooked and I love it, still learning that's for sure but have time to do that. I am retired, remarried 17 yrs. ago, live in a very small rural town, 110 people, and love it. I am 67yrs. young and have 2 grown sons. Hubby has 2 sons and 1 daughter. We have a couple of acres with a lot of grass and large garden so it does take a little bit of time. Right now the strawberries are going crazy and the raspberries are getting ready to start. Love that fresh produce from our garden, so think the work is well worth it. Occasionally we go camping or boating...when we find the time.

Hello everyone! I'm 76 going on 29...if only I could convince my knees of that some days and remember to never look in the mirror!!! Love challenges and have never done a Round Robin but have loved working on the Round Row Robin we are finishing. Love to quilt, everything except the sandwiching....(YUCK!) Also, love applique, punch embroidery, thread crocheting, designing, not skilled but I do enjoy creating something different which usually ends up being whimsical and reading. Just entered my first Mug Rug Swap and the July Secret Pal Swap which I think will be fun. I'm not a competitivpersonexcept with myself...always looking for ways to "make it better" the next time.

OOPS........hit "Enter "before I was finished.....sorry.................

Have 4 grown children and six grandchildren ranging from 10 to 30...grew up in the city but have lived in the country for many years but not on a farm. My son and I are currently helping my daughter and son-in-law strip 4 layers of wallpaper off of 8 rooms to help them refurbish a delightful old home they just purchased. The only bad part is the hour drive both to and from the home every day. Love the beach, tree, flowers (unfortunately I have a very brown thumb) but love to take drives and enjoy other peoples beautiful yards.

I'm getting ready to celebrate my 3rd or 4th anniversary of 29. I am getting ready to student teach this fall and graduate in December (dual mathematics & secondary ed)... I've been in school since 2007. We just moved to Montana (about 8 hours north of Jaba & Brat) about two years ago and we'll be where we are now for at least 3 more years until Doogie (my husband) retires. He's on the bomb squad and just got picked for promotion. I've been quilting since 2008, cross-stitch since 2002. I do cold-process soap making, lots of baking, and home renovation. I own a long arm and recently "opened" a business which really hasn't meant a whole lot other than now I can charge my friends for the work they sucker me into doing for them.

Today is Doogie & my 11 year anniversary. Woo. We have 1 son, The Midget, who will be 9 in a few weeks. I get exactly 1 month and 2 days of summer this year between the end of this semester and the beginning of the fall semester.
