About Me

I have quilted since 1974 with long breaks. It is the one hobby (lifestyle) that I always come back to. I am retired from the US Air Force, currently work full time and am planning to start a quilting business from my home. I have 1 child (Jessica) and 1 grandchild (Liam). We are expecting another grandchild in December! I have 5 Miniature Australian Shepherds (breeding program gone awry!)

Hobbies and Interests

quilting, applique, hand quilting, machine quilting, embroidery

My Pets

5 Miniature Australian Sheperds, 2 Chickens, 1 Turtle and a pondful of Goldfish.

I've been stuck here in Daytona since 1982 with a few trips out west since 2003. My 21 year old daughter just moved back home, so there goes my idea of a sewing room LOL. She's still going to school and hoping to get into a nursing program. I'm an RN and I work for a hospice. It's the best job I've had in my 19 years of being a nurse.
How old is Liam? Is he excited about becoming a big brother? Congrats on the coming grandchild! Take care, Susan

My sister is in the Az Army Nat'l Guard in Phoenix, so my youngest child and I are going to visit her, then go up to Sedona, Grand Canyon and over to NM. Anyway, I'm new to quilting, but I have always had "how to" books on quilting. Now I'm stockpiling fabric AKA making a "stash", LOL. Take care!

At 6:43pm on July 15, 2009, Suzanne L/WA said…: I would love to have a 90 gallon pond of goldfish. :-) Actually, I would like to have anything besides this grass and hole (courtesy of Daisy) She invents a new one every day for me to fill - I just can't keep up though cuz she digs more than one a day...LOL. And no chickens - yet - because I'm afraid my dogs would kill them. But I would sure love to have their eggs.

While I love the SW, I can't stand not being able to enjoy the summer weather like in New England. When it got too hot, I'd pack the boys in the car and head for the beach - 1 hour away.

Instead I "live" in my sewing room while the DH is in his mancave(aka computer room) and the AC is hummin'!

Anyway, welcome to SW Quilters.

At 3:51pm on July 14, 2009, Suzanne L/WA said…: Well, if your five dogs is a breeding program gone awry, then how do I explain my four dogs, four cats, five birds, and assorted other pets?...LOL I think the gerbils would be the closest to breeding gone awry - there are four youngsters born June 1st, and now six babies born July 7th. I usually try to have the babies during the school year so students can adopt them..oops..Oh well, they are so darn cute! Welcome!

Thanks for joining the business group. I hope it will be encouraging for you to start working on your dream.

My dream started last month. I got all the paperwork together and have been sewing daily to build up an inventory to show to merchants of local specialty shops. Tomorrow I am visiting my first merchant.
Hopefully, all will go well.

This group is great for sharing ideas, and it's great to have you part of it. Welcome!
