Any other newlyweds or under 30yrs?

Welcome Michelle, Charlotte, Renee, Sindir, and Diana! (Any one else
floating around?)

How did you come to pick up quilting?
I had sort of considered it when I was in high school, but what made
me pick it up this summer was a book called the Quilter's Apprentice
by Jennifer Chiaverini.

(I am discriminating slightlyat the moment, I hope everyone else is ok
with that. There are many many people here and I can't meet them all
at once and hope to get to know them).

anyone who might be on the same path right now...

I am a newlywed of just under 6 years, have a 2.5 year old and a
grandbaby of under 1 year, and Im 46 *or 47, Im not sure*, and I enjoy
making quilts. Do any of these qualify me, or disqualify me? :-) Diana


Diana, dear, how come you don't know how old you are? I've heard of
plenty who won't admit to how old they are... but no one under about 90
who didn't know when they were born. (In the olden days they didn't
keep good records and memories got fuzzy- like she was born the year of
the big flood or some-such...)

Natalie-

Are you aware that Jennifer is a member of this group? She's not too
active now with her growing family and writing her books, but she still
drops in every once in a while!

I think its only because its not really all that important to me to keep
track. Thats all. I dont remember how long DH and I have been married
either... I believe it was in 99 we said our vows officially.. It feels like
yesterday we pledged our love to one another (at least most days it does)
I do remember what year I was born, 57. And the year my children were born,
79, 83 and 01. I think its just the math that gets in my way, that and the
numbers of my age seem to change so rapidly the older I get that it doesnt
pay to remember. I'll save my remembering for important things like a parrot
pattern I promised. :-)

and I'm just over 30 (born 1972)

I'm 29 and was married three years ago. I think that still makes me a
newlywed! I'm also so a new mom of a ten-month-old baby girl, and that makes
quilting quite a challenge. Right now, I'm sort of sticking to small
projects, stockings, bag holders (Thanks Joy!), etc, but someday I'll make a
bed quilt. Sigh. Someday. Maybe when she starts sleeping through the
night...

I must be very lucky to have a 5 1/2 month old DS that sleeps through
the night!

Neat!

Ohmygosh! I would never!!!

BTW - Is there a master chocolate list or do I just have to mentally
keep track of everyone's favs?

Just as long as you remember, I don't 'do' chocolate, and keep the black or
cherry licorice or the Good 'N Plenty jar filled next to me--we'll get along
just fine ; )
Butterfly (next time I make Chocolate Cupcakes--(((wherever IS that Linda
C)))--I'll make sure you get one-- just cause I can't have it ,doesn't mean
I don't bake with it ; )

Well, as a different angle on this, I have been married for thirty years and
I think we are still newlyweds, lol. Our kids are 27, 25 and 23 and are all
out on their own and we are truly enjoying this time in our lives. Also a
newbie to quilting, actually started my first quilt about three years ago,
but just finished it this year.

Love in Stitches,
