Yes, Sheena and the rest of my RCTN family. WE got home late yesterday
afternoon, and have just partially unloaded THE RV. When it has been
your home for 3-4 months, there is so much to do. Also...it is weird,
but I don't remember where things are in the house. I was searching for
measuring cups for ages today!

There is a huge amount to catch up with. I took nine stitching projects
to do...I just finished the first the night before we left.

Yes, I have been quilting...but it ties with knitting as #2 in my
interests. It was terrific fun, though, just because of the deepened
friendship I made with a very old acquaintance...we were both at the
same RV park............a huge story there.

Anyway, we went to the Community College about 15 miles up the road in
Sylva NC..and took classes. Theoretically they were beginner
classes........but not so.

The day we left I told our instructor ( we were all a band of great
friends at the end) that I thought sashing was the thing you put around
the waist of a dress...in fact I was truly a "quilting virgin". !!

I have pieced, and pinned a really nice throw for our house. I don't
think I have the equipment or capability to machine quilt it. Also, at
my advanced years, I am not about to hand quilt it.

My goal (bucket List) is to make a throw for each of the kids' homes.

Not dedicated, but fun.

Stitching on my cashel linen is far more relaxing!

glad TO BE HOME, AND ABLE TO BE ONLINE!!

Gillian...the missing.

W E L C O M E H O M E !!!!

Thanks, good friend!. It is so great to be in the real modern world,
whee I can access newsgroups. However, I was beginning to find that I
could live with out the computer 95% of the time.

Jack ( the dog) loved it.Lots of walks, little wild voles everywhere,
many people to pet him, and the main office had "no pets" on the doors,
but the doggie treats and water bowls were in there.

Even the work-campers had treats on their golf carts. It was one of
those places you know the dogs name, and then you are Jack's Mom!

It is good to be home....but please, can I move my home up to Franklin NC??
