About Me

I have been doing fiber arts, embroidery and quilting for about 2 1/2 years. I learn from every project and really like it alot. I like all things colorful. I would say I am drawn to bright colors. I dont know that I can say I have one favorite color, I even like black.

I am a stay at home mom of 3 teenagers. I have 2 dogs who I absolutely adore. One Border Collie/lab mix and one Yorkie. We just got a kitten, it's my first cat in my life. She is HILARIOUS. I like to read (addictively) the weekly trash magazines (Star, In Touch, etc) and do crossword puzzles. I like all word games and soduku.

My husband is in the Air Force Reserves (we used to be active duty) he is also a civil service employee (a computer guy). We have been married for 13 years. He is absolutely my best friend and supporter and encourager.

I live right out side of an Air Force Base and I love the sound of the F-16s roaring by. To me it is the sound of freedom overhead.

I am pretty easy going and easy to get along with. I am active with my quilt quild, an art quilt group, and an online art quilt group.

I drink a fountain (not from a can) diet coke every single day of the week without fail (and have done so since I was in the 10th grade!) I quit smoking a year ago (the best thing I have EVER done).

I look forward to doing swaps and meeting people!

Favorite Music

I like just about everything, but My favorite would be the oldies.

Favorite Television

I LOVE True Blood! I am also a Discovery Chanel junkie. I also enjoy Animal Planet, Food Network. I think Mike Rowe is a STUD!

Favorite Crafts

I love to quilt and do art quilts. I like to fabric paint and do machine embroidery. I just recently learned how to hand dye fabric and had so much fun! I like to felt and basically like to try any new craft that looks fun.

Other Misc stuff about me

love the rain, especially just as its starting and I really love to watch lightning.

Collect Wizard Of Oz and Willow Tree figurines.

I love chocolate of course, dark being my fave and I chew alot of gum.

Comment: This week has been super intense and to find this amazing package in the mailbox was such a fantastic pick me up. The theme you did was awesome, seriously creative - I never would have thought about combining fiber mediums like you did! Thank you so very much for a wonderful quilt - my best friend was here when I opened it and is quite jealous. I will get a picture on flickr as soon as I can, I absolutely have to brag about this! The towels were lovely as well, I don't know if I'll actually use them or display them only! I wish I could give you a ton of 5's. Since I can't, please know that you deserve many more than one. :-)

I took your beautiful Tea For Two package to my ATC group and let them see it. Oh my goodness. They were cooing over the beautiful ATCs you made me. They talked and talked about how you did the edges and the beautiful threads you used and of course the beautiful cups and teapot. Thank you again for such a great swap....

Thanks for joining the Fabric Postcard swap. It is lots of fun. It is great to have you on board. I quit smoking 7 years ago last month.
