Welcome to my blog and Happy Valentines Day. I have been reading all of these wonderful blogs long enough, so I have decided to create a blog myself. I am not very good with the computer, so everyone will have to bare with me.
First let me give you a little background info. Like I said in my profile I am a single mom with two childern. My son is in college and is 21, and my daughter is a senior in High School and is 18. I am single going on 2 years now. My husband of 21 years left one Sunday and didn't come back. I had no idea there was a problem. That Friday I was served with divorce papers. What a shock to my kids and I. The following year he re-married a 27 year old, need I say more? Enough of that storey, my life is really getting better every day, and I have the sparkle back in my eyes.
I started quilting in 2002. I love to quilt, embroider, cross stitch and stamp cards. I am hoping someday to have a room for all of my wonderful hobbies. On the quilting side I still send my projects out to be quilted (longarm) but I do the rest of the process. I have met such nice friends since I have started quilting.I belong to two quilt guilds and one stitching group. I really enjoy going to the meetings, the show and tell is always amazing. I have listed my projects I would like to get done this year. I am really concentrating on completing what I have before buying more, I know boring. Good luck to me. I am sure I will find a lot more UFO'S and list them later. This is a picture of what I am working on now, I thought I would get my fall things done so I can use them this year.
Tomorrow I am going to take a day of vacation and go to my local quilt shop for a small retreat. I will be there all day. Pictures will be hopefully posted on Saturday. I hope everyone will enjoy stopping by and reading my blog.

Welcome to blog land Beth! I'm glad you decided to jump in! It's truly wonderful. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on your images. Blogger, for some strange unknown reason, does not let me view images. I cannot even post some of my own! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
