    Default Vicarious Quilter and dog

    Quilting has consumed me. Loved all the colors, patterns, textures and designs. Loved looking at and buying fabric with finished quilts dancing in my head. I started quilting about twenty years ago and I have the stash to prove it. I have made quilts for friends. Still would like to finish once last quilt for husband.

    Sadly, I am downsizing soon and all my unfinished projects, fabric and machines must go. I may be able to quilt again but it won’t be for a while. So, I joined here so I can live my quilting life online for a while. I still like it all but just the next chapter of my life will not have room for it.

    Darcy is my dog. He is one year old and he brings joy every day.

    Welcome from Texas! Darcy just put a huge smile on my face. He is soooo cute! So sorry you are having to downsize & get rid of your quilting supplies. Is there any way you can keep your sewing machine? Maybe you will be able to quilt again soon & can just purchase fabric on an "as needed" basis. Perhaps you have a friend that could store your unfinished projects for you and you could work on them one at a time. If you lived next to me I would gladly take your stash/UFO's & store them until you had time to work on them. Or better yet, I could store them here for you & you could come over to my house to sew on them. I think I would go crazy if I did not have my machine. I wish you the very best in this next chapter in your life.

    Welcome! Darcy is a beautiful dog. Downsizing is never fun, but perhaps one day you can get back to the quilting fun and buy fabric as needed!
