Randy Seaver over at Genea-Musings has a Saturday Night Genealogy Fun and this one is an easy one for me, so here goes.
Many of you know I am also a quilter, and I have had my quilting blog since Thanksgiving day of 2008. I enjoy all aspects of quilting, and I do many different quilting methods. I took my first quilting class with a friend, that was in the summer of 1995, and the rest is history. In 1997 my friend opened a quilt stop and she asked me to teach quilting, I knew how to paper piece, a technique she didn't know. I have been teaching ever since. Right now the only class I am teaching is a quilting software class. The software is called Electric Quilt or EQ for short. I have taught a variety of classes.
My other new interest is scrapbooking. I this about two years ago to document my parents' lives, and share stories that I know about my ancestors and to save my genealogy in an interesting format. It has almost taken over my quilting time. I like the hands on experience of using paper and punches. My latest project has been a wedding album for my daughter and her husband. It isn't finished yet but my daughter saw it at Christmas and she really liked it. You can see some of the album pages here. That is only the beginning of the album, there is a lot more.

I am also active at church, go every Sunday and have a calling. I am a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was one of my smartest decisions I ever made in my life. I joined the church at age 29 and severed a welfare mission to Santa Cruz Bolivia.
My main job now that I am retired, I was a nurse for 46 years, is to be a wife.
Well there you go a little bit more about me.
