What do you do when you are NOT quilting?

Hmmmm...like many of us, I read a lot. I usually have at least one book going at home & another at work. Photography - one day I'm gonna get a digital SLR, but for now, it's my little Nikon Coolpix that has it's own pocket in my purse.
I have been going to the same Adult Ed quilt class for about 17 yrs. I belong to one quilt guild & am a past board member of the So. Calif. Council of Quilt Guilds.
I hang out on the computer & watch too much TV.
And I love to spend time with my family & friends as much as possible.
Oh, naps, have always been a good napper. :wink:
And still work - only 4 days a week currently. Hopefully some day soon I'll be back to 5 days so I could actually have $ to do something besides just pay the bills. But I am thankful that I CAN pay them!

MY passion is quilting, but everyonce in a while someone needs a hem in a gown or other adjustments and I do that. I also knit, am making socks right now, geneology, and volunteering at church for what ever is needed at the time. My grands are all grown up and busy with there lives so I dont see them much anymore. theres always house work to do but I seem to let that slide so to enjoy my hobbies. LOL Marge

Loretta, if you do find something in Latin that is legible, here is a site that may help.

hmmm well since I got the house, when I'm not sewing (and I only started sewing a week ago LOL), I have been doing house renos, playing in my new garden (spent the weekend past getting the patio all done up and my flower boxes planted and my herbs planted... I'm trying zucchini this year), I LOOOOOOVE playing in my new chocolate kitchen!!! I have a big bookcase with all my recipes! When I went to buy the bookcase I made sure it was a biggy so that I had lots of room for LOTS more cook books! I love surfing the internet looking for great recipes to try out! (I tried out a slow cooker ribs yesterday, but it was a bit bland so I won't be making that one again)... hmm what else.. hopefully I'll get back to my scrapbooking come the Fall season... I love to hike, camp, play with my new dog, coming to this board which is a very addictive place!
I think I'm going to start up writing to new penpals this Fall, as in the old fashion pen and paper again. When I was in my teens and twenties I had 25 penpals from all over the world at one time!!! I miss that. I still keep in touch with some of my penpals but through Facebook and emails.. not quite the same! There is nothing quite like picking up a pen and paper and writing. Not to mention it's nice to see something other than bills in the mail box!!! :)
All that keeps me going! I can't remember the last time I was actually bored!

If I'm not quilting/sewing, I'm usually on this board! lol!!!! :wink:
Otherwise - reading, doing something with the kids/grandkids, we're pretty involved with church, AngelFood Ministries, gardening - both flowers & vegies, cleaning is usually last on the list! lol!!!
And of course laughing over our pets. Just bought a new lazer light tonight to drive the kitties crazy! lol!!!! :D
We also have a boat, which we were waiting for it to warm up to use, now have to wait for it to cool off a bit! lol!!! We like to just cruise around in it, and the kids love to go tubing.
