    Default Starting Over, New Beginning

    Hi Everyone, It has been 5 years since I have been here on the board. So much was happening in my life that I had to stop sewing, but at last, I am returning to my passion. I won't get into the gritty details, but I now have a new life with a new husband and a new home. My husband is very supportive and encourages me to create and follow my dreams. We are currently setting up a craft studio in a spare bedroom. Finally, my own room to sew, quilt, paint, cross stitch, etc. Looking forward to making new friends and learning new tips and techniques. I also retired last October, so my time is my own now and loving it!

    Your kind words are what I needed to hear. Looking forward to becoming a part of this kinship of fellow quilters once again. Forgot to say that I am from Alabama. Lived in Birmingham all my life, but now in the Gadsden area.

    Hi Scarlett56, from the few details it sounds like we have had similar lives. Both past and present. Welcome back in more ways than quilting. Here's to fulfilling your passion!
