Hello everyone,
I live in the southeast with my husband of 38 yrs & my cockatoo. We live in a motorhome which has its challenges. I do a lot of various crafts, but this year have really gotten into quilting. Learning a lot & enjoying every minute of it. I finished two lap robes & a tote bag since June & am working on another lap robe now. Still have two baby quilts to go before Christmas, along with a lot of other stuff. We normally make all the gifts we give. My husband enjoys working with wood & I've taught myself to do a lot of various crafts which I enjoy. I got a late start this year as I was going through chemotherapy & had no energy until June. Hoping to finish in time.

Welcome from Northern NY. There are a few people who live in motor homes on this board. There are a lot of members who will help out if you need it and the quilts they show are inspiration enough to get anyone motivated. The only draw back I can see is all the time I spend here instead of quilting. LOL Have Fun!!!

Thank you. Yes, I can see it's time consuming. Hope I can check back often though. I'm trying real hard to match all my points and am failing miserably. When I do get one I get real excited about it! LOL!

The chemo was the worst part. I'm on the last six months of treatment and the 5 yr pill now. Still tire easily but I agree..quilting is great therapy! I love making pretty things from little bits of cloth. :-)
