New Beginnings

I retired from work earlier this week.  My first day of retirement was March 1.  I have a lot to look forward to.  I have time to visit with folks I don't usually see very often.  I will be getting more exercise.  I may get some things cleaned out and tidied up around the house.  I am going to meet regularly with my cousin and see if we can make some joyful noise with our stringed instruments.  I can state, as a fact, that I have played Mozart and Bach, however, I am extremely rusty.  I am hoping to improve.  My husband and I, and possibly two cats, will be doing some traveling around the nation in our RV.  Yes, I am going to be quilting and keeping up blogs.  My dear friend, Daria, gave me a retirement gift of an art quilting course, that I am very excited about.  I have one quilt project to complete prior to me allowing myself to start the course.  I know I will be very absorbed in the art quilting, so I want to get the backing made and the quilt quilted and bound before I start on this amazing odyssey. 


March 1 was a gray cloudy day, but there was a pinch of sunshine to the southeast. My day.

My Glamping Quilt is at the quilters, as I type. My 'Similar to Gees Bend' quilt is the one needing a backing, quilted, and bound.  Then art quilt time!  Then make a duffle type tool bag, Star quilt, Unikitty quilt, plaid quilt, military quilt for Education, kitchen sink quilt, red and green quilt, Elvis quilt, shark quilt, an artsy quilt with blue churn dashes, and making a coat from a quilt (VFW).  Plus, I have a quilt top, I made in 2020, out of old lady fabrics, and it needs a backing and quilted.  Okay, that is a quick summary!

My next post is already determined. It is about one of the fabrics in our glamping quilts. It's amazing!!
