So many wonderful stories...

this one!)

Between you and Polly I'll post. : )
Taria here in the high desert of So. Cal. If you go from Vegas to L.A.
we are the pit stop about 5 minutes off the freeway between the two.
I am just beyond a half century in years. I've been sewing since I
could hold a needle. I brought that with me into this life I guess.
I've done all kinds of sewing but have settled in to enjoying quilting
most of all. I collect old machines. Most have been moved on at this
point but I still bring one home once in awhile. I am a reformed cat
hater. There are now 3 inside cats here and 2 big beautiful golden
retrievers too. Looks like 3 'repo' cats eating outside lately. They
need proper homes. I am a retired SAHM and dh is retired too. DD is a
GIS-mapmaker kind of person for a nearby town and DS is a crime fighter.
No grandkids. DS seems to have a pretty permanent gal friend though so
there could be hope. I am one of 7 kids and that leads to a lot of
cute grand nieces and nephews. I do a lot of fussing around in the
yard. Lots of fruit and flowers. I really enjoy baking and generally
feeding people.
I've been around RCTQ'ing more than a few years. I have learned some
new stuff about members reading this roll call. Too cool. ; )

I am Connie from ND. I live a short way from the geographic center of
North America. I lost my beloved DH two years ago and my dear QI last
year, so now I live alone. I have 3 great kids, son Jim who lives
nearby and is Dad to GS2, daughter Annie, who lives in Montana and is
Mom to GS1 and 3, and son Tyler, Our Marine, who was wounded in
Afghanistan and is now 100% disabled but has found a full time job at
the VA helping new vets and is recently married.

I began quilting with my Grandma when I was very young. I stopped off
and on as life got in the way, but came back to doing it as my children
got older. I love to do donation quilts for local fundraisers, and most
of my other quilts are gifts. I really love retro fabrics and
traditional patterns. I recently finished a GFG top done all by hand
sewing. It is meant for a first granddaughter, if I ever get one. I
hope to get it hand quilted this summer. I have my others quilted by a
friend who is a long-armer and does a lovely job. I also crochet and
love to do it while I watch baseball games on tv. Go Twins!

The rest of you can have my chocolate. Though I love it, I am trying to
cut back!!

Connie,

It's always good to get an update on "Our Marine." Thanks for that!

I'm sorry to hear about your DH. If you posted about it at the time, I must
have missed it. I'm glad you have at least one son nearby to help you out
(is Tyler living in the area too?). How far away is Annie and her two little
ones?

I think I'll pass on your chocolate, but if you decide to cut back on
anything else, let me know. We might find something I can take off your
hands!

Holy cats! Am I still here? ;-)

Had some trouble posting via OE, so I'm google grouping it for this
'un.

I'm Anastasia/Tasialue/Teacher Gal/Who-Knows-What-They're-Calling-Me-
Today.
I am finishing my last three days of teaching in the most horrendous
school
on the planet. Seriously. Don't get me started. I'll give you three
words to
give you an idea: East. Saint. Louis. See?

At any rate, I'm just now getting back to quilting after a hiatus of
almost
three years, during which I got my Master's in English
Composition/Linguistics and taught a year at the aforementioned Hell
School.
I am spending my summer swimming in batiks, practicing my harp, and
seeking
a new job. In this economy, that last one ought to be real fun. Not.

I'm happily married (10 years this month!) and have sort of semi-
adopted
three of my former students from years ago. They call me "Mom", I call
them
my kids. Their home lives were abyssmal, so I stepped in to help. Got
two
kitties: Sister Mary Mojo and Chiana Pip. They're sisters, and sure
keep
life interesting!

I'm working on the batik quilt (see cover of American Patwork and
Quilting
April 2007 for pattern), and I have several on the back-burner,
including a
red and white log cabin, an art/wall quilt that's going to be a bear,
and a
few Minkee beasties that have been snots to deal with. I've donated a
few to
Nurses for Newborns, too.

Other than quilting, I knit so much that if yarn were meth, I'd have
no
teeth.

So that's about it for now. Hopefully, I'll speak up a little more now
that
my hands aren't tied to lesson plans and gradebooks!

Anastasia

-- who was given a treadle machine by a close friend and forgot to
mention
she's restoring that to working condition this summer, too.

Default Time for another Roll Call?

Joan in Bellevue NE. Just started collecting Social Security and do
love that! Worked in real estate for a number of years, have a
Master's degree in Counseling and now work part time in a quilt shop,
teach some real estate continuing ed courses and do public relations
on the internet for DS#2's 'rock' band 311. (New album comes out
6/2!)

DS#1 (architect) and wife live nearby in Lincoln Ne with the most
wonderful grandchildren in the world, of course. DGS is 7 and DGD is
almost 4. DS#2 and wife live in Los Angeles, which is too far away.

I make lots of store samples and our current passion is purses and
totes. I teach a ANY TOTE/ANY BAG course where you can tackle any
pattern for a tote or purse that we carry in the store. We limit the
class to 6 people and it's great fun to teach. Sort of like
balancing a spinning plate on a long stick while riding a unicycle!

As far as quilting is concerned, I like batiks and brights in
traditional quilt patterns with a twist. I'm a sucker for new books
and acrylic and variations of old technics. My mother machine pieced
and hand quilted everything she made. I mostly stick to machine
piecing and quilting, long-arm at the store for most big quilts, but
do occasionally hand quilt something that is special.

Current backlog of projects includes a Judy Niemeyer paper pieced
quilt in batiks, OVER THE RIVER which has embroidered center panels, a
brown/pink basket quilt, and others too numerous to mention. :
Moving to the top of the stack are an embroidered piece and a purse
for our Xmas in July promotion which is about 6 weeks away.

Otherwise, I knit with a passion, garden, watch after our 2 cocker
spaniels and try to enjoy each day as it unfolds.
p.s. Just lost 14 pounds and am feeling pretty darn good about myself
and life in general!

I was on this group a LONG time ago. I tried to find it in the past
with no luck. I am Kelly in Texas. I have two 4 year old twin
granddaughters and another grandbaby due at the end of June. I have
been busy babysitting, quilting new baby blankets, knitting. I loved
this group and really missed everyone.
