INTRODUCTION

Hi from a textile fanatic.  My first love is sewing, followed by quilting and knitting.  This year we have a brand new love, our first grandchild!  Our grandson was born in June.  It's true, there's no greater JOY than a grandchild.

We love to observe the many faces of Calvin!  He has brought us Joy, Joy, Joy, and more JOY!

It's indescribable!

I formerly blogged at TLC Quilts and Walks.  Three years ago, when my father's Alzheimer's took a turn for the worst, the blogging stopped.  Knitting entered my life, when research touted the benefits for brain function.  Insert Dr. Seuss or Forest Gump here with the here there and everywhere you can knit and the items of knitted hats, shawls, mittens, and sweaters.  Knitting went everywhere with me! 

But, I missed those fabric endorphins!

Bonnie Hunter, of Quiltville fame, posted this as her daily quote today.

I have another quote, by Bonnie, on my bathroom mirror.
"Stop being so afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited of all that could go right."
Along with advice from my knitting peeps, dance like nobody is watching and sing like nobody is listening.........I'm going to start blogging again, like nobody is reading! 

AND Kevin the quilter, thanks for inspiring me to blog again!
