I always have sewing projects in various stages of completion laid out on the bed in my sewing room. The one that has bothered me the most began with a kit from Great American Quilt Factory. I saw it on their web site and thought it might be something I would like to try. It was called "Christmas Pickle". When the kit arrived I looked at the fabrics and nearly fainted. This would certainly take me out of my box. The colors were every shade of green from lime to barnyard, torquoise, fuscia, pink, red, purple. The pattern was a paper-pieced pickle dish in a one-quarter format and lots of pinwheels. I sewed on it for a while, then it became burried by other projects. Those other projects eventually were completed and the pickle dish reappeared in unfinished splendor. The last few days I have been determined to finish the pickle dish so I can get that green mess off my bed. I showed a finished row to my husband and he nearly fainted. "You paid money for those fabrics?" he said. What was I thinking?
I just remembered, I have to "tag" someone and I have nobody to tag. Does that mean I remain "it" for the rest of my life with my unusual hobbies?

I created a Blog
I can't believe I'm writing a blog.
I suppose it's because my two daughters have one and I have read their beautiful words that bring tears to my eyes and I feel an urge to contribute "my ramblings". Besides, I was "tagged". I don't exactly know how that could be because the daughter who tagged me lives 150 miles from my door. I thought when you were tagged, someone had to touch you. I also understand that I have to list six unusual things about myself and "tag" someone else.
1. I was born with an unquenchable thirst to excell in things out of the ordinary. Therefore,
2. At the age of 9 I learned to drive a tractor and at the age of 12, a car.
3. I mowed hay for my dad from the age of 12 until I graduated from high school.
4. At the age of 50 I learned how to be a professional photographer without any schooling or training.
5. At the age of 70 I learned how to be a longarm quilter without any schooling or training.
6. For the past 45 years I have had my hair fixed once a week at White's Beauty Salon.
