Tagged

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B: Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 3 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
2. What was on my "to do" list today?
3. What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire?
4. Bad habits.
5. Places I have lived.
6. Place I have worked.
7. A few things people don't know about me.
I'll think of someone to tag later.

Honorable Mention



Recently I entered a quilt in The National Quilting Association in Columbus, Ohio. This is a big national quilt show-bigger than the Arizona Quilt show. I was so surprised to find out that I had won a honorable mention ribbon. I started this quilt three years ago. It is hand applique with batik fabrics on a pretty black background fabric that has rose designs through it. I had decided to do some heavy machine quilting around the applique designs using silk thread.
I had entered it in the Arizona Quilt Show in March and it did not win a ribbon I believe because of a mix up in which the quilt committee moved it to another category. The Cactus Patcher quilt group encouraged me to enter the quilt in another quilt show. I'm so glad I did. There is a lot of work in it and it appraises for $2000.00. Wow! Here are some links where my name is mentioned.

My decision to start a blog


This has been a really hard decision to start a blog with all the other things that are going on in my life. Not working full time does not mean I'm home doing nothing. I stay so busy. Perhaps with the hobbies and interests I have, it takes me longer to do things I want to do, even the fun things. But I am going to attempt this. So now and then I'll write the things I'm doing and how much fun I'm having. I love being retired.
