love to create and love projects, love textiles. I can't golf anymore that was my physical outlet along with repurposing found objects, furniture, baskets, ceramics. Shoulder surgery and upcoming knee replacement have all but halted my physical outlets. So, I fell back to the only way I know to get the creative part of me out there. Can't paint, don't crochet, don't knit. But I can sew! There is a challenge and creative when I am making a quilt top. I love it when a pattern comes together and makes sense.
I'm one who has to be doing something with my hands, I cannot sit still. I really wish I could sometime. I love the colors and designs of fabric and putting together fabrics that you just know won't look good .... and they do. How amazing is that ? Plus, I get to visit with the wonderful people on this quilting board. That's reason enough!!!
