I’ve never really given a lot of thought to writing a blog, but I’ve been doing an increasing amount of quilting, so it seems it might be a good way to get feedback and suggestions on projects.  I have at least four quilts in process right now, which makes me kind of nuts, I know.  I don’t have tons of free time, but I do like to create.  I recently read that Project Linus had donated quilts to those impacted by the Oso landslide here in Washington state and that prompted me to want to help out, so two of my four quilts in various stages of completion are for Project Linus.  I mean, I can help people, I use up some of my fabric stash (that’s another topic we may get to someday), and I get to hone my skills since I’m still something of a novice at quilting.  Seems like a win-win, right?

In addition to quilting, I work full time at a rather stressful job.  See, there’s another reason why I need some sort of outlet.  I like the work I do and the people that I work with, but it’s hard to get to everything that I need to do since I’m fielding questions and phone calls a lot of the time.

I’m also a breast cancer survivor.  The first couple of years out, I let that define me.  Now, it’s just a part of me.  It sucked.  I’m sorry it happened.  I’ve been cancer-free for three years, and every month that it is a little farther in the rear-view mirror makes it better.

I love color, make-up and all things girlie, including shoes and purses.  This frustrates my husband a little – or maybe more than a little.

Thanks for stopping by…  I’ll be posting some photos of what I’ve been working on in the next day or two.
