I retired 1-1-16. I designed and manufactured children's heirloom clothing for high-end children's boutiques for 37 years. It was 11 months before I knew I was really retired. I even forgot that I had joined the Quilting Board. Last year I quilted 2 baby quilts for donation. Knitted 8 baby blankets, crocheted 195 beanies for our Thanksgiving food pantry boxes. During Dec., I finally settled down and enjoyed Christmas without all the chaos. Has anyone else taken so long to realize they didn't have to work and be busy all the time?
