- About Me
- I am a born-again quilter. I started quilting in High School, and quilted from 1975 - 1990 until my two daughters lives got busy and my quilting time ended. I am a small business owner who works way too much so until two years ago I still did not find the time to do much more then work and build my business. The event that got me back into quilting was the death of my Mom who passed way way too fast from cancer. SHE was the quilter in our family and she was waiting to retire to REALLY have time to quilt. She passed away 6 months before her retirement and her words to me was NOT TO WAIT to do something you love - you may miss your chance. She blessed me with the stash and everything I needed for a life time and all the motivation to get back what I love to do. I miss her every momnet of the day but know she speaks to me through the fabric and projects I am learning and enjoying. I joined the Quilt Guild in my town and am know surrounded by new "Mom's" who are teaching me so many new things. I am blessed to be a born-again Quilter.

Hope you have a great day.

I've added your show to our events calendar. Please note our events software requires start and end times. Since I didn't have any, I entered 1am to 1am so it's obvious that it's wrong. Let me know if you'd like me to add hours.
Thanks!

Hope you are enjoying this special weekend! May your Fourth be filled with parades, picnics, and fireworks! ;^)
How fun that you are actually in E.W. My folks were on 8th St. NE, across from the Catholic Church parking lot. Their backyard opens onto the play field at Kenroy.
I'm not in a guild here in Yakima. I don't have time to do any of those things. I find time to quilt between care duties with my folks. We have about 2 hours off a week, so no time for things like quilt guilds, etc. That's where this site is so good for me as I can be with many quilter friends right here at home.
Hope you have a great 4th. Just finished the apple pie, potato salad, chicken & cabbage salad..... Now I can rest and not cook for a while. LOL
Happy quilting!
