Buy the pink one and make a statement, it will look very pretty.

I'm Judy from Massachusetts

I have just come back after a pretty long absence. I've been married
for 30 years - to the same guy! Hasn't always been great, but we made
it. We have 2 kids, my son, 26, and his girlfriend live with us. My
daughter will someday graduate from UMass Boston, I hope, she's 23,
and living with a roommate.

I work as an usher in a sports arena, currently on medical leave
because I have just been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. I
could use all the hugs, prayers, (psychic healers?) you've got right
now! I have just finished one round of chemotherapy, which went
okay. Round two is coming the 13th of February and I'm not looking
forward to it or the rest of the six rounds. I have to cut my long
hair, before it falls out, and buy a wig (I'm thinking, besides a
"serious" one, I might go for a bright pink one!)

I've been lurking. I'm planning on doing as much quilting as I can
while I'm home and not working. I want to make at least quilt tops
for all my friends.

Judy

Hugs and well wishes to you Judy.

Thanks.
Today is wig shopping day, I'll keep you guys informed!
All I know is, if I cut my hair and what's left of it doesn't fall out
- I'm going to one ****ed off lady! It's going to be like another
"shot heard 'round the world" !
It hasn't even done anything yet and I'm already looking into hair
extensions!

My mom is getting a 'crew cut' today in preparation for losing her hair.
Her first chemo isn't until Feb. 14, so she's s bit early on that. Best of
luck with your treatments. You are another heroine in my book.

I've been reading the responses to this thread for days and am amazed at the
similarities in so many of our lives. There are several entries which could
have been mine! Anyway, I started sewing in ninth grade; my mother wouldn't
let me touch her machine until I took classes in school! From then on, I
made my own clothes, my children's clothes, and lots of home dec things.
In 1990 I started working part time at a Fabric/Craft store. That led to
making model garments, conducting craft classes, and becoming an Asst. Mgr.
fulltime. When the store was bought by another company and went through
bankruptcy, I left...it wasn't fun anymore! I then went to work as a
Teacher Asst. in an elementary school.

My DH and I have been married for 35 years and have three sons, one DIL, one
grandson, and another on the way. My DH and I are both retired. We've
lived all over the world (New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Italy and
Germany) while he worked as a civilian employee of the Air Force. We are
now in Pennsylvania and moved here to be closer to our boys. I joined a
Guild and a Bee, and participate in an online Interquilt group. The clothes
sewing has come to a standstill since I took up quilting in 2004. Just
recently I purchased the Babylock Quest and love it. I also have a Singer
Featherweight (and its table), a Babylock serger and my recently retired
Singer 6267.

As Cornwoman wrote 'Now I want to
know more about each of you! Please tell!!

and we seem to have a flurry of new posters, is it time for a general
Roll Call, so that newbies can see who we all are.

So here is mine:

Retired to the Suffolk coast in England from Nottingham in 2001, so of
advancing years!


Two big children, neither still at home. Richard 33 has lived with his
girlfriend and her three children for 5 years so it seems pretty
permanent. He works in computers (thank goodness!). Rachel is 37 and
lives with her husband Tim, an airline pilot, in central England. She has
her own Personal Training business, but I think she has given up having a
beautifully slim and fit mother!

DH Mike is into ornithology in a big way - birdwatches, rings birds for
migration stats, does conservation work, so I am left to stitch! (and
garden).


QI Inspector No 1 is Hodge who is a white cat with a grey tabby mask,
hat, cloak and tail. He is assisted by 2 year old Mia (who is black and
white and would rather be doing other things), and her brother Kiwi who
shows great promise. Kiwi was supposed to be all black, hence his name
the New Zealanders will understand. However, he is a bit of a clown so
grows a long very fluffy brownish coat for winter, with a big
mane like a lion and an enormous tail. He retains his pitch black
face and legs though! In the summer he is black and short haired and looks
considerably smaller.


Have sewed for ever, lots of embroidery, but only started quilting about 6
years ago when my sister died and left me her board, rotary cutter, lots
of bits and pieces and small stash. She only had one or two things
unfinished but I thought I would learn to use the board and cutter so I
could finish her things properly. However.... the stash has grown and so
has the pile of UFOs - and I seldom embroider!


I've just had a sort out of my Webshots, so its fairly up to date. At the
moment I am concentrating on the 'Singing the Blues' and have spent the
evening appliqueing leaves - lots and lots of leaves!


Chocolate - officially nil as I am dieting, but ........ (Personal Trainer
is too far away to see!).


So .. open to everyone else!

DH's family had a summer camp on the Raquette River. Two brothers still live
up that way--one at the house on the river and the other in the Adirondacks.
