Sorry it took so long to get back here.  I love practicing my long arm and quilting techniques and I watch a lot of youtube.  There are a lot of wonderful sites out there. 

Hi Bridget,

This is the first time I checked back in at all, and I saw your comments.  I am sorry about answering so late, and also that your dream of having children didn't happen.  I never thought I'd get married, and then when I did I think my folks flipped as they were in their 70s!  I am not a youngster, older that you I'm sure, and I won't stop working for at least 5 years.  My daughters are back and forth from living here to moving on so I don't have a room of my own.  But I bought an antique dresser 30 years ago and it's full of these baby clothes scraps which I'm sewing together and crazy quilting.  I'll be at this project for years!  This is because my mom, who was a Depression child, never had nice clothes.  So her granddaughters had satins, silks, velour, and a rainbow of pink and purples.  

    I love the fabrics and the stuff is not only all I have left of their babyhood, it's one of the things my mother gave them.  She's been gone ten years and it's tough.  So if I quilt  the fabric together, they'll have the memories even longer.  Best wishes, Judy

Hi Bridget - I love Seaside - and Cannon Beach isn't far, for fabric!

Bridget, Are you going to email me.  I really do miss talking with you.  I too have been having a bad time lately.  My super company refusing my application to get money out.  So I've missed out on getting my new quilting machine and getting my gopher fixed too.  Worse thing also my computer died .  Thank the goodness for my best friend in Sydney she came up with an old computer and sent it to me.  XP Professional.  I am hoping it will last out now until I can afford to buy a new one.  Please let me know how you are going Julie Beard.

Hi Bridget, I hope things are going well for you.  We have been on a dead run, since my father passed away on April 29th, that was a hard day, but a blessing, too, as he was suffering, and it was nice that he doesn't have to suffer any longer.  I am hoping to get back to sewing myself, as soon as I can.  Take care, Carolyn

We miss you around here, Bridget.

Bridget just saying hi.  I am thinking of you and Brian.  I hope you are hanging in there.  My thoughts and prayers are with you both.  Julie.

Bridget, I am so sorry for not answering back. On the 23 (my birthday) I got my left knee replaced. Really haven't been on the net too much, or quilting at all for that matter.  Again, I am so sorry and thank you for the wishes!
