Oh, the action around here!
Red Hat Moms invite women 50+ to share their experiences about life, fun and whatever brings them joy.
I guess I've totally been missing something. Usually I get an e-mail when someone posts and I didn't get your last few posts, Arlene. That's why I haven't responded to the questions about being interested and charm squares. sorry. I'm not seeing t...
Re Purple Charm Quilt: I received a lot of 6" squares when I did the Quilt Tree. It was fun to see where they all came from. I asked if any of you were interested in joining in but I didn't receive anyone's address. If it's something you want to d...

I can certainly relate Arlene. I had two surgeries this summer as well. I was diagnosed with cancer of the kidney in June and had my left kidney removed in July. Then had my gallbladder removed Sept 1st.
I had back surgery 13 years ago I know that...
Hi Arlene,
Sorry to hear you had surgery. I hope you're feeling better. What a bummer of a way to spend the summer.
I haven't been on this site for most of the summer either. I just got busy and we've been out of town quite a bit.
LOVE your quilt!...
Welcome Karen! I'm glad you've joined us. What type of quilts do you like to do and what type of quilting business do you have? Looking forward to getting to know you.

- I grew up sewing with my mom. She's a professional crafter. I didn't start quilting until about 4 years ago. I am totally hooked on Jinny Beyer fabric--especially the borders. I hate using border fabric that doesn't have a mirrored image. I've been to her quilting get-away in Hilton Head a few times. Lately my mom and I have gone to Hershey, PA for the Ouilt Odyssey there. Great teachers! Great fun! Lots of Chocolate! What more can we ask for? I prefer to hand piece and hand quilt. I am working on learning to free motion quilt--just better at hand sewing right now. Absolutely love to applique--usually needle turn.

- Arlene--thanks for reaching out to me. I just recently signed up and am still learning my way around. We have quilting and green in common (probably other things as well)! I look forward to getting to know you better.

I just got a book on accidental waves. i'm so excited. most of my time however is spent spinning my alpaca fiber, writing my humor column or working on my books. How did you ever get your husband to go into a quilt store with you? Amazing!

- Whenever you get a chance. I know it's a busy weekend... we're having company over for Easter. I'm also doing a block-of-the-month at our local quilt store. It's the second year I've done it. The 12 sample blocks in my pictures are from last year... still haven't finished that one! Happy Easter!

- Love the crazy sock creatures!! I may have to make some of those. All of your quilts are beautiful. Unfortunately, I won't be able to upload pics of mine for a little bit. We have a really busy Easter planned and I'm trying to get ready for that. The giraffe is applique and it's a block of the month. There's a bunch of zoo animals. Cute, but I hope I can keep up! I'll be machine appliquing it. I'm just really not liking all the spots on the giraffe right now!!! Hope to keep in touch with you!

- Hi Arlene,
I haven't been on this (Mom's) site for long. I really like it, though! Thanks for sharing how you got into volunteering. I write songs to encourage children and families (www.songofsingingbird.com)and I'd like to share them with families who are struggling. I could probably donate some CD's to shelters? Let me know what you think.

- Hi Arlene,
I'd love to hear how you got started volunteering at a women's crisis center. What has your experience been like? I've always thought that would be a wonderful cause to support!
