I've been a quilter for 4 years and a crafter/sewer/dollmaker all my life. I love applique, especially working with wool, and I spend 90% of my free time in my studio or workroom (when I'm not in the kitchen). Married at 18, we just celebrated our 40th anniversary. We've got a beautiful 28 year old daughter (married to the love of her life), 2 chihuahuas and one grandpup (chihuahua). Life is good.
