I do hand embroidery and machine embroidery. I'm also the secretary of our quilt guild which keeps my computer and typing skills up to date. I also love cooking and baking.

Could you share the chemo cap knitting pattern? Cotton hats aren't good for this cold NY weather.

Church group was glad to get them and they put them together. Also I am now sewing "Coloring book bags with crayons" that I am going to sell at my DD mother's club bazzare. What are you doing in you spare time?

I crochet (tried the warm up america but didn't have anywhere to drop them off, they say Michael's throws them away and cost too much to mail them), ride a motorcycle, be a granny, mom of 4, wife, and I'm a medical transcriptionist that works too much.

WOW, we certainly do alot of stuff when we are not quilting. This is my year because I have been able to leave the house and venture to a senior center twice a week. Besides that, I think about dusting, ironing, etc; then there is crocheting, knitting, sewing gifts, watercoloring. Besided quilting I love to cook and rearrange recipes to my liking (which may I brag and say they are pretty good; so I am told). Then there is the other stuff such as the daily living chores to keep one sustained. Thanks everyone, you again make me feel normal (just like all of you).

I have been helping with Project Linus. I also am chairman of a hands on flower club, treasurer of another and do wedding flowers etc. from home. I also have eight grandchildren who I love dearly, one of whom lives with us, the only granddaughter (17) and she has a horse so I do lots of laundry for them!!
