I'm finding out that I am more "country" in my heart than I ever knew. I'm a retired Hospice/oncology RN, married to the love of my life, 2 kids, 4 grands and no pets due to health issues. I have found my retired passion of quilting and have an enormous addiction to fabric that my honey supports completely. We have a group of weekly quilting ladies who come and make comfort quilts for hospice.
Thanks for the opportunity to join others gals who love the concepts of "country".

Welcome Jan, from northeast Texas. There's many quilters on the Farm so you will have a lot to share with them. I don't quilt but I like keeping up with what they are doing.

Welcome to the farm, Jan! I too am a retired RN and I did Hospice for 11 of those years. You will have to post some photos of some of your quilting projects here. I would love to see what you enjoy doing!

Welcome Jan! So glad you introduced yourself. I just enjoyed the lovely city of Spokane yesterday at the Farm Chicks show And quilting is a most beautiful hobby, made even more special by your group of gals sharing their compassion. What a wonderful thing you're doing!

Thank you for all the welcomes as well as the kind words. As to sharing photos, it might be a bit. I'm using an older version of Nook that doesn't take or store photos. Also will have to figure out the process from my phone.

| Hi Jan - Welcome to the sisterhood. Wow, we have so much in common... I know Spokane quite well - my husband's relatives come from that area and we spent many holidays visiting Latah, Colfax and Spokane. We are now living back in my home land of Australia, but I still love to explore the Palouse when we fly back. I am also a fellow nurse - working mainly in emergency. And, as for quilting, my Mum and I love to quilt. I know exactly what you mean by a fabric addiction - you should see my Mum's sewing room!! Hope you enjoy chatting with like-minded "sisters". |

Hi Jan, And Welcome. It's so great what you do, sharing your gift of sew to all people. I myself like to sew, embellish with fabric and lace on jackets and hats. I have also ,made three quilts. My favorite hobby is decoupage.

Welcome! Thank you for working as a Hospice/oncology nurse! A blessed field. Fabric is fast becoming my retirement passion also.

So sorry. I've lost my way moving around MJF and couldn't figure out how to get back. Thanks for all the great messages. I just finishes a QOV and got it off the longarm so am a bit tickled. It's ready for gifting now. Multiple projects on the back burner...well to be honest, more projects than I can live to complete. But my 2016 list is rediculous! What is your passion?

Good morning everyone! Hope all your guys had a good Father's Day and are back to work so you have a moment for a sip of coffee and a chat. I'm starting a day with a ramble, so hope no one minds. My QOV quilt is bound and ready for it's label. Another practice quilt is on the longarm and I've been practicing (doodling) a new motif to use on it. Under my Bernina needle is a pieced 12 inch star for a barn quilt swap that has to be mailed by the first. Wishing I had made it much larger...might start again. Those are the tasks I'm looking forward to. Dad (91 years) passed away and there is a stack of paperwork that I also need to plow thru today. That's the nitty gritty stuff going on. Hope you are having a good start on your week. Blessings on your Monday.
