I have been quilting for about 15 years and love it. I work as a physician assistant in a hospital, as a hospitalist in Internal Medicine, taking care of patients while in the hospital. Sewing is my valium and it keeps me grounded. Some nights when I get home from work at 10pm, if house quiet, I will go down and sew for a few hours, just to unwind from a busy night. I would love to make some quilting friends online, as we live in the country and really don't have a guild or anything.
