About Me

I'm 57, divorced, and was brought up in the 50's and 60's as a typical housewifey wife. I cook and sew, make jams and jelly. cakes and bread. I was the room mother when my daughter was in school. The scout leader, The neighborhood MOM. Now I'm taking care of my dad and autistic brother. And I want to finish my charm quilt. Help!!! I have TONS of extra quilting fabric to share, and a neighbor who is a quilter too.

I haven't read my favorite book yet, but I loved The Count Of Monte Cristo. So much better than the movie. So much detail, and excitement. I went thru a period when I read the stuff I didn't do in high school.

Favorite Movies

I love the old classic musical and costume bits. Gone With The Wind, My Fair Lady, and comedies, Harvey with Jimmy Stewart is a favorite. Arsenic and Old Lace, and The Philadelphia Story with Kathryn Hepburn. With so much going on in my life I need to laugh.

Favorite Television

Grey's Anatomy, House, The Big C, Nurse Jackie, and The Neighbors. I have an eclectic taste. Medical shows and stupidity.

Favorite Crafts

I don't do cross stitch anymore, since my eyes turned traitor on me and I had to start wearing bifocals.But Other than that, I knit and crochet, sew quilt, beadwork, at one time or another, I think I've done it all.

Right now my fave is quilting and knitting, very portable.

sewing extras

If you find that you need a bit of this or a handful of buttons, or something "odd" Ask me, I just might have it. I'm willing to share for the cost of postage no handling, and if it's just a stamp, no worries I'll just send it to you, (a box full is another story). My parents were collectors, so I came by the same gene, I have boxes and boxes of stuff.

Favorite Crafts

I have been trying for years to do a charm quilt. What started out as 3" charms are now 2 1/2" and I figure that I need a few hundred more than I originally expected. Any color, but more light than dark. I taught myself to knit a few years back, nothing extravagant, but I can do it while watching TV. Right now my house is torn up with contractors doing repair work and I'm trying to replan my bedroom. It has a horrible blue carpet, and I can't even imagine what to replace it with.

wish list

closet space the perfect place to lay out a quilt to work on. season 3, 4 and 6 of LOST charm squares a lifetime supply of HAPPY HEART from Clinique the perfect bra, (one that really fits)

Comment: Great fabrics. I appreciate the larger size, too. I can sew these together to make 5 inchers to use with the 5 inchers I have cut. Thanks.
Response: I'm so glad you liked what I sent. I have 5" squares already cut if you are interested. The only thing I was going to do with them was cut them down to 2.5" . I might have a 100 or so, maybe some duplicates. Let me know if you would like to have them.
