Well I just realized that I posted my 'hello' to the group in the WRONG thread. I posted in the 2015 ~ 2016 (last years thread and not the correct thread here the 2016 ~ 2017 thread! (Thank you Barb for pointing me in the right direction.)
So I've copied and pasted my hello to the group for here in case there are those that may not have seen it in last years swap thread! Yes I was blonde but now I'm gray but still from time-to-time have 'those blondie moments' :0)
Hello Everyone ~
I just rec'd notice from Barb over the weekend that I'm in for the 2016 ~ 2017 year of candies! My board name is onaemtnest as you can see by my Avitar. But, please call me Onalee
onaemtnest~ is on a empty nest although it has been several years since we tore up the nest when kids left for the Air Force and college respectfully, we still enjoy our empty nest status.
There is another Onalee with Quilting Board she is Onalee Rose. Onalee Rose is from Michigan and the only other Onalee I have ever met and it was via the Quilting Board and she too told me that I was the first Onalee she'd ever met and we're both .... well let's just say well seasoned humans on this highway called life.
I look forward to chatting with all on the swap, learning, laughing and sharing. I tend to get long winded at times. I so enjoy making new friends especially those that share our love of this fiber art called quilting.
Quilting? Which still confounds my husband that the process of cutting up perfectly fine fabrics just to sew it all back together again is logical. He however is my biggest fan and supporter and never begrudges my fabric purchases, gadgets and various things that I'm sure will make me a more proficient piecer (at least out loud he doesn't complain :0). He did sympathize with the movers when they groaned with the comment, "What another box for the sewing room?"
So "Hey there from Onalee in Idaho"

I will post the list for this year birthday PARTY either later today or tomorrow. We are at 28 and think that is a great number!
My daughter is back in the hospital and has to have a minor surgery (she is pregnant due April 2) so I will be with her for most of the day.
Welcome everyone....

Hope all goes well Barbara. I haven't been on the board much, got the crud that has been going around so been on the "Z pack" treatment. I'm going from room to room carrying the kleenix box. Been sewing on the Storm at Sea patterned candy quilt.....forgot how much effort it takes to match those diamonds all up. Not perfect but looking good I think.
