My life has changed a little since starting this blog in 2008. My husband and I retired in 2013 and returned to Boise, Idaho. Much of my career was spent as an executive secretary in the building materials business until we moved to Honolulu where I worked for Hawaiian Electric Industries in their Information Technology Dept. There, I discovered my love for computers and gadgets.
My mother taught me to sew as a child and I made many of my own clothes through the years, including wedding dresses for myself and 4 sisters. After her Singer gave up the ghost, she purchased a Bernina 830 that I used until I left home. Out on my own, I purchased a Bernina 810 that I used for 29 years until it had to be replaced in 2007 with a Bernina Aurora 430. I have also kept busy learning to crochet afghans, eyelash leis, and beaded bracelets, trying to learn to knit (I have never mastered the tension.) and enjoyed counted cross-stitch. My bucket list includes learning how to paint using watercolors and dying my own fabrics.
I have always been interested in quilting. My Grandma Edna and her four sisters were wonderful quilters. I regret that I did not have the opportunity to learn from them.
