I more recently have returned to the wonderful craft of quilting and am loving it! I live in a seniors' building, surrounded by wonderful friends and neighbours. I also share my home with Ben, my (almost) 9-year-old cat. Guess who rules the roost? Well, almost. LOL Life is great! I have 3 wonderful kids (I daughter, 2 sons) plus 3 beautiful granddaughters and one lovable g-grandson. Yup, wonderful is such a nice word :) I have many different interests including writing and working on my (Japanese art craft Bunka "painting with thread". A nice contrast to sewing. I am widowed (past 8 + years now) and simply enjoying where I am now.
