- About Me
- I am very blessed--married to my sweetheart for 28 years now, with one child in college, another in graduate school, and a very sweet, not-too-bright cat who has to be reminded daily where his food bowl is kept. DH and I moved to central Georgia when he retired, and we are really enjoying our new home here. I love quilting with the Happy Quilters of Laurens County. I've been quilting since 2000, and I love making traditional quilts, especially reproductions of antique quilts. Right now, I'm working on a Double Wedding Ring, one of my goals when I started quilting. When I grow up, I want to make a Dear Jane. I hand quilt everything, and my favorite quilt notion is my Roxanne thimble (well, both of them).

I hope in looking at supplements for your son you will look at the Mannatech Glyconutrional supplements. They do have one called 'Immuno Start' that helps build up the immune system. I am on several of their supplements and they have made a HUGE difference in my health. My DH can answer or find answers to any questions you might have.

Joana, thanks for the compliment on my applique quilt. I quilted it on my LA. I've had it for a little over a year and finally got brave enough to work on that quilt - didn't want to mess it up after all the hours of hand applique :)
Hi Joana--thanks for friending me---a bit like FB. I also live in Georgia in Walton county in a little spot off 78 called Between. We retired almost 3 years ago and moved here from Orlando via WV where we were raised. Two of our daughters live in GA---one in Barrow Co and one in Savannah area---Richmond Hills. Our oldest daughter and her family live in the Orlando area.
Love your blocks and love the fabrics. I never thought of red and blue, but it is going to be lovely. I am doing my second BAQ in purples and greens.
Oh, Joana, that would be depressing (regarding the non heat resistant template plastic). Wait til I show you how I "fixed" my mess-up this week. Pictures to come later.
I would look at it as being paid for doing something I truly love!! take a break from tetris and think about it!
Hi Joana, of course I was kidding about being an agent...but seriously....consider the idea!! this is how we got the telephone and a better mousetrap---someone had an idea!! I think you should run with it!!
Machine quilting on my long arm frame, so have to stand. Going to have DH go over to his work a borrow a stool to sit on.
I know what you mean, Joana. I feel the same way! When it becomes a burden and stressful, it is no longer fun. I don't know how some of these gals do it. I guess some people thrive on the deadlines and stress. Not me! At times it is stressful enough just getting the ones finished I want to make. When anything becomes a 'chore' it ceases to be fun. But seriously, good work and enjoy yourself. Have been quilting on DD's & DSIL's today. Had to take a break from the tired, achey muscles and eye strain. Having to stoop over close to see the black on black! Hope the red on red is easier to see. Should be as it is lighter.
From the sounds of the comments on the tetris facebook site, you could go into business making and selling Tetris quilts! You have some serious fans out there.
