I have found that meeting new people and sharing almost anything is a very addictive thing to do. I enter fully warned. ;-D I am an avid reader, sew nearly every day, or I can't sleep nights. I am grandma to 23 grandkids, one gr baby, and well over 100 honorary grandkids all over the world, due to websites like this one.
Being a farmer/paramedic's wife we have lots of meals to cook and people to enjoy, but there is nothing better than new friends; except the tried and true ones, of course. Also extremely active in Red Hat Society. Belonging to three chapters. Old, but very far from finished. ;-D

This is what I do. To get them perfectly cooked; as soon as the water starts to boil turn them off and cover w/a lid for at least 10 min. I add salt and vinegar to my water; the salt helps w/the peeling even new eggs and the vinegar works if you have an small little cracks that develope in the shell it keeps it from going all over in the water; kind of stablizes it next to the shell.

Signed, no less, by my husband's gr gr gr Aunt. It must have been done when she was a small child and she was born in 1878! Can you imagine the women that were suppose to sort the quilts are ALL quilters and they threw it in the dumpster? I was shocked. This thing is amazing. It now rests on the "rope bed" that came with the family by covered wagon to our area. So sweet!

Hello to you, too. I don't quilt but I do sew by hand every single day. I make purses and hats that are all hand stitched. Hope to be around for a while, even if all I do is see what is going on.
