- Tell us about yourself—as much or as little as you like.
- Wow, so long since I've reviewed this profile and so much has changed. I retired 10/01/2016. and seven days later fell and shattered my wrist taking an afternoon walk. Really I should have stayed home and had a glass of wine. I have 1 hubby, 1 cat and 1 dog. Dog and I walk most days. I had such a lovely plan for getting organized and all that went on hold when I broke the wrist. Just getting back to figuring out what I'm doing now. The last few years of work left me with no brain or energy for extras other than piecing tops. Now it's time to get some project completions and catch up with the sites I love.
I'm a bit of a technique junkie, so my projects jump around a lot.
On a bad day at work I would hit the quilt shop at lunch and just caress the fabric. I call it visiting the therapist. Now I can have therapy whenever I want. Good thing they know me well there.

i went thru all your photos, some more than once. really enjoy your work.
lol.. whatever works.
Hey- I took a look at Sally's site and browsed her books on Amazon, where I could peek inside. If I pursue mini's beyond the current casual and challenge myself all three of the people I've found/heard of will profit. The three are Sally Collins, Carol Doaks and George Siciliano. Bottom line here, I have got to retire from my full time job and become independently wealthy. I need time and I need money to support my habit.

another link. note the "note" at bottom of page. i have most of her books, just got the drafting. i have been drafting my own patterns fr the beginning, but i find this book challenging and pretty heavy read. love it! i would like to get her cd they show, hadn't seen that before. the one of her working. hey! the class was a long time ago...so i could watch cd and maybe she has new tips or i see something i forgot fr class ...whatever.

Hi Kim your quilting habits sound the same as mine. Are you doing BOM from craftsy? I am and so far enjoying it but did it in flowered fabrics from my stash so how its going to turn out is a mystery. pretty colourful. Hope this mystery quilt turns out as I have never done one. Also doing a BOM from a store in NC ( online) and I am disliking it- fabric seems cheap - way too colourful ( I like colours alot) not sure how it will turn out either. PS the ou in colours is because I am Canadian. Happy Quilting. Irene
