Sometimes there's just nothing better than getting together with other quilters for a "Sew In". Our guild had one the other day, and I have to say that I'm so glad I went. It had been a tough week, like many others this cold...brrr...winter, I found myself 'laid up' for a few days.
But, tired as I was, still not feeling great, I decided to go. And the funny thing is, it made me feel better! I guess it's just being able to 'connect' with others, that shared passion for the art of quilting, and the inspiration that always seems to be there. I love seeing what everyone is working on; sitting, sewing, chatting, laughing; it's all there, in one little room!
Thanks Ladies, I had a great time, got some work done, and enjoyed being with you all. Next time I need a boost, Calgon won't be taking me away, a "Sew In" will!
About Me
- Karen
- Hi You all! My name is Karen. First I'd like to say that I've been truly blessed with my husband, Vince, for 23 years now, and with our three children, Wayne, Shannah and Travis. Vince has been in the military for 27 years, and as the kids are now all teenagers, I stay pretty darn busy! What's a (semi) modern Mom to do? When I'm not cooking, cleaning, playing taxi, etc., my greatest passion is quilting! My sister, Barbara, literally dragged me into a quilt shop about 11 years ago, firmly stating that I needed a hobby! What a journey that has been. It took me 3 hours to pick out the fabrics for my 1st quilt! Don't laugh, it's true! Yet, I loved every minute of it; I think it's the whole creative process. I've gone from barely being able to read a pattern to designing them. All in 11 years, told you I was quick! Without a doubt though, what I love most are the friendships I've formed with other quilters! We've shared alot; laughter and tears, joys and sorrows. So whether you are a long-time quilting buddie or a new one, I say Welcome! I hope we'll have the opportunity to share and learn alot from each other!
