I live in Massachusetts. I have been quilting for over 20 years. I love making quilt blocks more than putting them into quilts. I enjoy making Christmas ornaments year round,

I have started to make small quilts for Dogs and Cats trying to sew up all the blocks Iv made or have traded in swaps since 1999.

Quilting - I'v been quilting for about 25 years. I have many quilt blocks and tops I need to focus on this year and make them into quilts, No more new projects until at least 6 quilts are fully finished.

Sewing - Curtains, Pillow cases. Small projects.

Handmade Christmas Ornaments - I enjoy making ornaments through out the year. I bought a new tree in Jan, 2015. It is 7.5 feet tall, so I will have plenty of room for new ornaments.

I'v hosted ornament swaps since 1999, and have a nice collection of hand made ornaments from all around the world.

Crocheting - afghans, Scarfs, doggie sweaters. I recently discovered the Corner to Corner crochet pattern. I love it. Iv fished a couple wool scarfs and now making a afghan. It is a fun patten!

I am also making a Granny Square afghan using all varigated yarns for the square with black border. It is so bright and colorful!

I should have been born 150 years earlier. My house was built in that era. I wish I had pictures of it back then. Although Iv kept the old over hangs at eves and skeleton key front door with the original etched glass intact
