In 1975, Lincoln painted their Continental Town Coupes a color called Dusty Rose. I owned one, it did not scream Mary Kay Pink. I imagine the color chips still exist. -- TerriLee Bishop in WA (state) USA (opinions are wholly owned by the author and don't represent anything) ;-) remove "invalid" to reply |

Sorry, a little late with my info for this thread.....we had huge winds here
in Central NY and were without power in our little part of the woods for most of the day. Here goes: I am Marilyn in Moravia Name: Marilyn Likness Home: in the woods just outside Moravia, NY in the heart of the beautiful Fingerlakes part of Central NY. Born here, left here right after graduation in 1958, came back here in 1993 with my DH both of us to be semiretired, and help take care of my Mom and make it possible for her to stay in her own home, which she did til just 3 years ago. She was 93 when she passed away. Occupation: Fully Retired and loving it! Also parttime and "unprofessional" nurse to my husband who developed a very rare autoimmune disease 2 1/2 years ago. He is doing quite well right now and I have learned a lot about lots of diseases and can give a really good Procrit shot! Age 63 Past Lives: Admin Sec. Bank Teller, Grocery store owner and Chief Meat Cutter, Greenhouse operation owner and Farmer's Market Seller, State Park Ofc. Mgr., Bookstore Mgr., Book seller on Internet, Ebay and Amazon when they both first began, umm, umm, lots of others but only for a year or two. Family: Married, DH originally from SD. We lived in SD for 5 years in a town of 200 people in the NE plains east of Aberdeen, SD. 3 kids ;since I have no grandchildren I tell everyone I have old children, lol. DS1and wife live in Baltimore, DS 2 lives in Rochester, NY, DD & husband live in Charlottesville, VA. We all lived in Culpeper Co. VA from 1979 thru 1993. I could move back to that area in a heartbeat! especially Charlottesville, especially in the winter! Food: Chocolate, Chocolate and more Chocolate.....I have had to switch to M&Ms since I began quilting to stay away from the messy stuff. Quit smoking almost 2 years ago and I now literally smoke M&Ms and Butterscotch drops...seems I need something in my mouth all the time. Comfort food: Macaroni and Cheese, Spaghetti with wonderful big really good Italian meatballs, Popcorn and shrimp. QIs, None at the moment. Quilting For: Approx. 5 years. Do every bit of it by hand. I have always had a prob. with machinery and refuse to get frustrated, soooo I decided if I did all the piecing and quilting by hand I could crawl up in my big recliner and quilt away while the quilt kept me warm in the winter. Hey, it works for me! I have a big floor loom in a room upstairs and for a couple of years made great rag rugs and sold them at Bazaars, but finally decided it was taking a toll on my back and I wanted something to do in front of TV with DH in evenings. Now of course I am addicted to quilting and have joined 2 Guilds. Quilting Style: Mostly scrap quilts, but recently did a Venetian Tile Quilt for DS1 and am working on Stack & Whack lap quilt so I am up for almost anything. Color Preferences: For me, mostly autumn colors, but dearly love to work on really bright children's quilts in the drab winter months. Have done lots and lots of kids quilts, all given away for charity or to my kids for their friends kids. Skill Level: Hmmm, maybe advanced beginner?? I have a lot to learn and do learn something new at almost every Guild meeting. Posting/Reading frequency: Seldom post unless something really touches me. Read/lurk almost every day. Back when I first began quilting I read a lot for answers to How To questions. This would have been approx 1999, I remember Sairey and Ragtop both helping me with questions. I learned to quilt from instructions in the back of a magazine and reading RCTQ!!!!! Thanks to all who have the answers we all need! Other Interests: Reading, enjoying a local book club and reading a lot of the classics currently. Gardening, dearly love that, just now getting gardens cleaned up for winter. Helping out in church ofc., committees and Sec. of their Church council. Friday night Auctions in next town, Bargain hunting. Love my computer both for communication but also for learning about anything that comes to mind. TV shows: ER, West Wing, NYPD Blue, Lyons Den and some of the half hour comedies, and of course HGTV. Drive a Subaru Forrester...need the 4 wheel drive here in snowy NY. Neither of us drive much anymore, but do get where we want when we want fairly easily. We like living in the woods less than a mile to the village, we have the best of both worlds this way and are only 1 hr. from Syracuse which is a big enough city to find lots of stuff to do. Quote: My own: My cup is Always 1/2 Full! There is more info than you ever really wanted to know I am sure. If anyone wants to contact me directly, I have never gotten around to entering the directory but I am a part of the HUG list, and would give permission for my email to be given. Thanks Marilyn in Moravia |
