the day i retired i went straight to the quilt shop from my exit interview..............and all the fabric was gone, it had been shipped out the day before...............I was in shock......but then realized that i had lots of fabric in my sewing room because of stopping at the quilt shop on my way home from work whenever it was a yucky day.....anyway the colors are what fasinate (sp) me.....grinding my teeth sometimes during cuting and piecing....try to breath while quilting (spoiled forever because once i used a long-arm and it was like dancing) at the sewing machine....but love binding and seeing the finished quilt.....it is like a puzzle....not all fun....but great when finished.
