Another introduction.

[lendube]

Hi, I guess I should make it official and formal by way of introducing myself. My name is Lennie (Valentina, really) and I live in a small mtn. community outside of San Diego, Calif. Happily married for 11 years now, second time around. Dh is the fire chief of our town and greater area. I have two kids, dd, 26 and ds, almost 25 and dh has two, a ds, 27 and dd, 29. Now the "kids" are of the furry variety. We have three dogs (a golden, Leo, a blk lab, Jack, both male and huge and rescued and then there's our little mutt girl, Betty, who we literally found behind our house as a pup.) There are four kitties that were all rescued from the streets except one. There's Max, tuxedo Manx, Fred, grey boy, Frankie, pampered Flamepoint Ragdoll, and Oscar, tuxedo. I sew for the community doing simple alterations and whatever might be needed. I'm as busy as I want to be with that. I really prefer to have plenty of time to sew for us.

[lendube]

Nope, not me Jeanette. That's our very own Bama (Lori). I'm not a quilter although they're trying VERY hard to lure me to the dark side.......

Oh Lennie, don't be such a fraidy cat, quilty will not hurt you You may come to love it as many of us do! But if you don't try, you will never know about the DARK side

The lady at the quilt shop on Monday said that once she started quilting, she never went back to garment sewing! I can definitely see the draw..no fitting, straight seams, etc..but I don't want to give up garment sewing just yet, and I think I have too many UFO's as it is. Don't go to the dark side, Lennie!!

[lendube]

I did try it, honestly. I have a queen size quilt top that actually turned out very nice. I completed a table runner from the leftover fabric, cotton batting and all. I started machine quilting the queen size one and was not happy with the way it was coming out although I like the top very much. I think I did a pretty good job for a first time. I will finish it. I have a stairwell that I was planning to hang it in. So, see, I have tried it. I've seen the dark side but was really not enamored with it. There's still time. I'm so very young yet.
