Congratulations! You are a testimony for all those who started out hard and stuck with it to accomplish your goals. Praying that my daughter will do the same.

I have lived in a dozen different states during career moves. I loved my jobs, but found that I love quilting more. So, I quit work to spend fulltime in this newfound artistic hobby. When I have some spare time, I also evaluate programs for the Feds.
