Hey Y'all,
Clare kindly suggested I share a bit about myself, so here I am -- three posts old! Isn't it lovely to find helpful people here right away?
I'm a career girl and grad student from Tennessee with a rural background and a love for country living. Fortunately, I have the opportunity to get away to the country relatively often. Gardening and cooking are two loves of mine, and I am learning more about the arts of simple living each day. I entertain dreams of having my own place someday that will serve as a home and B&B, complete with gardens and animals, that welcomes guests from all around the country.
I'm so glad to have found a copy of MJF in the store a few weeks ago and promptly went out and purchased the book. Right now, I'm learning all I can for the future so I can put that knowledge to use every day.
Best,
M.

Welcome M,
I too have all kinds of books and magazines that I learn from to help me when I actually get to live my dream. Reminded me of the story in MJ's book about the African American Lady in Florida. I so related to her, it even made me teary eyed. ( I am the sensitive sort after all)
Have fun here!
All the best!

but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd
keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.~

Hi Robin, I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply to this, I didn't see it until now! I make handmade baby quilts using vintage hankies...check out my website: http://mollymaequilts.tripod.com  . I've never heard of a "Dear Jane" quilt before, what is that exactly??
Cead Mile Failte,

Hi Molly!
I take it that you are a quilter! I am too! I am beginning a Dear Jane quilt - have you heard of or done one of those? Or are you an Art Quilter? I do mostly art quilts, but I do love the Dear Jane. I'm doing it in WOWZY colors, so it will be kinda wild, but fun! I am making one for my husband and me and one for my daughter. I have an Amish-style quilt that is waiting to be quilted. I hand-quilted one block, but my Parkinson's disease took over, and I cannot hand-quilt any longer - I have too many tremors in my hands. My husband just bought me a Bernina Aurora 440 - which is a quilting machine, and I am so thrilled with it - now I can finish the Amish-style quilt, plus my Log Cabin quilt, and my purple stars quilt, my North Woods quilt, etc etc. I had begun to think I'd never be able to get them done. I am really excited to work on this new machine. I have a class on it on Thursday.
Please tell us more about your quilting!

Thank you, Nancy. Yes, it is pretty here and so green! I've also been up to Washington State, and it's lovely there, too. Thanks for making me feel welcome!

Welcome M.
My grandpa's family came from Tennessee. Several are still there. I have visited them and toured the farms and cemetery where the ancestor's were buried. Tennessee is beautiful! It feels like home to me, though I've never lived there.
