I am so a wall-flower! (*****)God: Grace for the Moment Daily Bible: Spend 365 Days reading the Bible with Max Lucado
I had to replace my Bible...I discovered about a week ago that I was missing part of II Thessalonians and Philemon. The binding in my Bible that I took to college and I loved...with all the notes in the margins, dates of reading and profoundness tell my story along with God's story fell apart along time ago, but somewhere I lost part of the book...so it was time. I decided that I wanted to read through in a year. I love Max Lucados commentary each day. (*****)Beth Moore: Get Out of That Pit: Straight Talk about God's Deliverance

One-Line Bio
I am a certifiable quiltaholic with a HUGE sable. (Stash Accumulation Beyone Life Expectancy)
Biography
My certifiable quiltaholic addiction started about five years ago when I decided to hand-quilt a quilt top that my Grandmother gave to me. It was all hand-pieced with original 1930's fabrics. So I read up how to handquilt, how to perserve and care for old, antique quilts and started in...well, with one-eighth of the quilt hand quilted I realized that it could take me YEARS to get the quilt top completed, meanwhile I needed more of an instant gratification...and thus, the plunge into the addiction of all things quilting. Starting from flannel scrappy raggy quilts, to very detailed appliqued quilts, I love it ALL! I have a Grace GMQ King Sized frame with a Janome 1600 machine. My quilting studio is all smoke free, pet free. I do free-motion, free hand quilting, with a ton of practice, a couple of years of really working for excellence, I have starting making my own quilting designs, something you won't find anywhere else. I offer one of a kind quilts, I put together my own selection of fabrics (most generally not found in a quilt kit) and I let the quilt top "tell" me how to quilt it. Unique, individual, top quality, cherished and loved, one-of-kind handmade quilts.
I am a full time Mom (career choice) with a part-time job outside the home. I have a wonderful husband (C) and two goofy, crazy, lovable sons...Buggy is 16, a Junior at a charter school..Dimple cheeks is 12, and is going to be in 7th grade at the same charter school. I am 39 years old(yikes!), been married for 18 incredible years. I live in Colorado (which is wonderful!) I get to see God's signature art everyday with the sunrises/sunsets and the mountains! My favorite stores include ANY quilting store, Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowes. Yep, I am not your average american girl!
