About Me: I have been sewing for 50 years but quilting for only 8 years. I am trying to learn to quilt on my embroidery machine. I teach beginners to sew. This started when I worked at a Montessori school. I think I get more out of it than the kids do. I am fortunate to have a husband that loves to cook, clean, do laundry, and shop. No, you can't have him.

Hobbies and Interests: quilting, applique, paper piecing, machine quilting, embroidery, general sewing, knitting, gardening, garment sewing

The towels and bags were Christmas presents for my kids and grand kids last year.

My daughter showed two animals in FFA this year and it's finally over. I'm on the board as the Treasurer so I spent a lot of time working their booth at fair. Now that it's over I can move forward wiith catching up on all my sewing that I have missed out.

On top of work is getting hectic. We are a mere 10 employees and headquarters in Japan has decided to make the company grow to 50 people in the next couple of months to 250 t0 500 and hopefully to 1000 in a few years. I am not sure I want to stay here with that big of a company. Too many rules/benefits get changed. I have never worked for such a big company as that. I am going with the flow right now and hoping that I can keep my manager position in accounting but if that changes then I may start looking for something new. 50 years old and looking for another job is not fun. You hang in there girl -- sending hugs your way and lets keep in touch. I was thinking about you a few weeks ago and thought that I needed to check in with you and look you found me!!!!! Angie
