Hey there, I'm not really good at introductions, but I guess I'll tell you a bit about myself.
I'm a foster mother in Canada, soon to be adopting two of my current children, one sooner than the other. I like to quilt when I have a free minute, so it takes a while for a project to get done, unless I have a little baby that keeps me up at night, then I have more time to sew. I try to make a blanket for each child that comes into my home, but funding and time (some babies only stay for days) don't always allow for it. I am trying to stockpile blankets for the kids that only stay a few days, funds don't always agree with that effort though.
I'm trying to learn to crochet, I inherited a very nice set of crochet hooks from my mother-in-law and it bothers me that they aren't being used much.
I have 3 cats and I breed hamsters. I've been married for 12 years and I hope to be moving into a new house in a couple years. One of my goals is to make all my own blankets, curtains and upholstery for the new house. Since I hope to have the house custom built, I'd like to furnish it with nice things that I wouldn't be able to afford if I bought them outright. Plus there's a lot of added pride in a home you've put so much work into.
I'm happy to find a forum with people who love to quilt as much as I do!
