About Me
I have sewed, knitted and crafted most of my life. I have been a serious quilter for 30 years. I taught music full time until this past June. I'm now retired (early) and am looking for my "land legs". I'll get there and eventually make more time for quilting.
My favorites are batiks, 30's repros and Asian fabrics. I can't get enough.

I have 5 grandchildren, so I can always find a project for one of them.

Sognstitcher Lana, I've been trying to find my land legs for 3 1/2 years now, I'm a retired civil servant. I think I started by making a DJ, its not done yet, I try to sew several times a week or more. I am trying to get sidewalks in my city a meeting at 6 tonight, we needed them when my kids were young and they they are all grown so I thought I'd try when I retired, really thinking they would be in by now but they aren't. We celebrated our 40th anniver a week ago, I'm trying to figure out how to organize my machine quilting room once and fore all. I think I started it all by decorating my sewing room, but its never ending isn't it. I feel I have not stood still at all, but my items in my imagination that I want to do have truly grown deeper. I learned EQ this year, EQ DJ last year, tatting working on now, still crochet, knit but want to learn to knit socks, quilting is my heaven, wonder if I should try to get over that. bg

Lana, I will keep your DS in my prayers. I know how worried you must be. My DGS is Type 1 diabetic also. Along with asthma and allergies it seems like whenever he gets sick it is always a bigger challenge to get well. Hope that all goes well for your son. Later, Peggie

Lana, if you were here in Iowa, I would tell you to go to Prairie Star Quilt Shop in Elk Horn. Im just sure I saw nice John Deere Flannel there. They have the nicest selection of flannels of any shop I have been in. Elk Horn is 2 hours west of Des Moines off of I80. They might even be at the quilt show next week. Rhonda

Hi Lana,
I live in the northeast corner of Lakeville and quilt with the regulars at the Quilter's Haven in Rosemount. QOV also meets there. The WCCO report on QOV was awesome! I am retired (early, too) from nursing. My last 10 years were spent as manager of the nursing home inspection process for the South Dakota Department of Health. I miss my colleagues and my friends in the nursing home community.

To return to quilting and fashion sewing has been a joy. I have so much more in my head than I can ever accomplish I am afraid, but I'm going to try. I continue to read (a lifelong habit), but read more quilting books now.

I have a son and daughter-in-law in Apple Valley. My older boy and his family are in Brookings, SD where he is a student at SDSU. It is never too late to learn. Casey and Jenny have two sons, my grandsons Chandler and Riley. I also have 3 grandpuppies and 4 grandkitties.

Enjoy your retirement, a new beginning or stage of life. I suspect it can be as rewarding as we make it.....Dolly

Lana-Yes I went to ISU. I'd only have 1 semester and my student teaching to do to have my degree in Phys. Ed. But I broke my neck during a summer job and decided that teaching wasn't really my thing. Seemed to work out for the best. What a nice area Bloomington/Normal is though. Many good times were had there. Haven't been back there in about a hundred years though. I'm sure I wouldn't even recognize the place! One of my nieces, a "professional student" goes there and now lives there. I think a lot of students decide they like it so well, they stay.

Hi Lana,
No, I am not the knitting Annie. I have a friend who knits socks and I am really impressed by it, but the bug hasn't bit me.

Double posts

Has anyone noticed that some of the posts have been double-posted over the last few days? Wonder what's up with that?

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadian friends. Have a great day with your families. It would be nice if we all celebrated in October. Then we could have our holidays without the stress. Guess what? We would leave it until the last minute, even then. Guess we are just creatures of habit.

Beautiful fall color

Margo and Marnie, your pictures of the fall color is as close as I have ever gotten to the New England fall.
We don't do to badly here in MN with the Mississippi River Valley nearby. It hasn't gotten started too much yet.
