I
have been sewing since junior high school, when my mother told me home
economics class would be a waste of time. (I immediately enrolled in
home ec, of course!) When we started building the new house and garden
my sewing activities were reduced to mending all the knees in the blue
jeans we wore out working in the yard. Once the major yard work was
done I returned to sewing as a hobby. I finally retired my old Kenmore
sewing machine and bought a new Brother Pacesetter ULT2001 with an embroidery
attachment in 2002. Mike likes to collect tee shirts from the places
we visit on vacation so I bought a computer embroidery design program
(Autodigitizing) and have been embroidering tee shirts for him after
our trips.

I
have also started quilting. So far I have completed two queen size quilts
and several baby quilts. Like most quilters I also have several quilts
at various stages of completion. Mike bought me a computer quilt design
program (Electric Quilt) which I have been playing with too. I am slowly
building my fabric stash and have enough ideas for future quilts to
keep me busy for a long time.
