Just e-mail me and let's chat about what you are looking for! From one Gretchen to another, because we have to stick together, right?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023662613646528161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16780088.post-68964648551583162132009-01-29T06:51:00.000-06:002009-01-29T06:51:00.000-06:00I know how you feel about the independence of the ...I know how you feel about the independence of the children - we so want them to grow and help themselves, then when they do we want to snatch them back again. My eldest needs me less and less and I crave the days he wants a hug - I hold him just a bit longer than I should :-)<BR/><BR/>The quilting you do is beautiful - maybe you could work a theme around the life you've had there and work that into a piece.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00463715059853173034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16780088.post-17474031109722111192009-01-28T20:55:00.000-06:002009-01-28T20:55:00.000-06:00Glad you have found your "thing"...I think it's ha...Glad you have found your "thing"...I think it's hard for creative people to not be doing what they love and what stimulates their brains! <BR/><BR/>p.s. I'm no computer whiz, but I may be able to help you, depending on what you need...no payment or quilt required (i'm on the other side of the world)!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100344594099646839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16780088.post-55095327406278290212009-01-28T17:15:00.000-06:002009-01-28T17:15:00.000-06:00I completely sympathize with most points.....reall...I completely sympathize with most points.....really everything except the sewing parts :)<BR/><BR/>Sending you huge hugs!!!<BR/><BR/>You know, the real estate market is dirt cheap in FL right now - perhaps a home by the beach? And we do have fabric stores here....no ice hockey, but soccer and football are fun....it's 77 today...Mayberryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271575417109772296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16780088.post-49865215702593053042009-01-28T09:04:00.000-06:002009-01-28T09:04:00.000-06:00Oh, Gretchen, I just *wish* I was there!!

Our kids would click instantly. <BR/><BR/>I think you have found your calling - the quilting and fabrics. <BR/><BR/>You were the first person who ever taught me about felting wool and now I have read a little more about it! See, you are always enlightening.Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674149698867826312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16780088.post-62618769787324878692009-01-27T20:44:00.002-06:002009-01-27T20:44:00.002-06:00Hi Gretchen!I have the same feelings sometimes!

My husband is in the military and we move every 2-3 years. It sucks and it takes me awhile to find my way, but then everything is fine. In fact we will be moving for our last time at the end of Feb (3 weeks from now).<BR/><BR/>But I LOVE your retail therapy! IT always makes me feel better! What jelly roll did you get? What pattern are you making? It looks great and I might have to break down and buy that one!Little Lady Patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10642064402127329886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16780088.post-39788425548385439572009-01-27T20:44:00.001-06:002009-01-27T20:44:00.001-06:00Hi Gretchen!I have the same feelings sometimes!
