I'm Sandy; I live in Loudonville, Ohio, which is about half an hour north of Mount Vernon where Deb lives. In fact, my daughter is a nurse and works at Knox Community Hospital in Mount Vernon. (Deb, I'm also a breast cancer survivor, times two, 24 years and 8 years - yay!) I'm 58, married for 39 years (our 40th wedding anniversary will be in September), two grown kids and two adorable granddaughters, ages 8 and 5. I learned to sew as a child on my mom's Featherweight, but at some point during my 30's I stopped sewing. Decided to take it up again and got excited about learning to quilt. So far I've read more quilting books than anything else. If they gave prizes at quilt shows for reading the most quilting books, I'd probably win. :D We moved in January and I'm still working on getting my sewing room set up the way I want it. Hopefully one of these days I'll get my act together and actually get a quilt done and be able to post a pic.
