Hi, My name is Tammy and from southern CA. I am a stay home mom and a part time student studying to be an RN. I recently went back to school to persue my dream of being an RN. A learning disbility kept me from my dream years ago. I found out years later that I was dyslexic. My youngest son is as well. What I didn't know was that I had gifts in the arts! who knew?? I did my first landscape around 5 yrs ago. I learned from a book. I won first place and was shocked! I walked away with $500. My point is that I never thought i had any gifts until it was pointed out to me. For years I thought I was stupid actually, found out that I was pretty darn smart. It was through quilting that I found my love and myself really! Takes me to another place and I feel I am in my element. I am very open about my story because their are many of us out here. I get to talk with people all the time and help them realize they are Brilliant in thier own way! :-) My favorite thing is to help those who have learning difficulties (processing issues) realize they have a hidden gift somewhere. Let them know that they just learn different is all. A gift always follows. I will never forget that spiecal friend who did that with me.

I am on my sencond landscape quilt and it is turning out pretty good. I am just stuck looking for shrubs, flowers, and foliage I like...if anyone knows of a good website for landscape quilt fabric, I would love to know. I can't seem to find any. also, both my quilt shops have closed down. I am so sad about that. I would love to know if anyone knows of a good quilt maybe further out from me. I am in south orange county.

I look forward to meeting other quilters and sharing ideas and of course looking at pictures. I start school back up on Tuesday and will have less time to quilt, but hopefully since it has slowed down a bit I can squeeze in my love of quilting.
