About Me
- Laurdee
- A little bit about me, and why I made a BLOG (can you believe it??). I suppose you could say I'm "middle age", though I don't believe it! Yes, I'm in my early 60s, but certainly don't feel it! At least not on most days. I'm from a suburb of Buffalo, NY, born here and except for the 8.5 years we lived in Montreal, been here my whole life. My husband is from here, also. I work part time in a little quilt shop, where I learned how to quilt, 8 years ago. Guess you could say I've come full circle. I have 2 grown daughters, and I'm a grandma to 2 wonderful granddaughters. And a husband of 41 years. What more could one ask for? So, why did I make a BLOG? Good question. I'm not a writer, so there won't be any extraordinarily written stories here. Just me and my keyboard. I guess I wanted a place to share my thoughts and pictures about my quilts. This has been an amazing journey for me...one I wish I had started years ago. Now, I'm planning on starting to do craft shows. I'll be making a lot of smaller items, to go along with my quilts. You can see my quilts on the original "Sew? What's New?" blog. Enjoy!

Winter 2011~
I wish there was more time! More time to quilt, more time to relax! Just time to enjoy life! There's so much stress in my (and most people's) life, that I'm simply not enjoying it. I'm trying! We now actually have FUN in the cold, snowy winter! We go snowshoeing with amazing friends. We hike, and bike and I run! The hiking and biking are fun...the running? Not so much. But I do it. I ran 5 miles in the Turkey Trot this past Thanksgiving! First time in that event. Larry stayed home and cooked! Loved that part!
But I think about all that I want to do. I just turned 59...can't believe that! 59! When did I get that OLD?? Funny thing is, I'm more active NOW than I was back when I was YOUNG! I'm in better shape, and I think I'm a happier person.
Just wish I had more time....

Mystery quilt
Here it is, December 29, 2007...almost the new year! I can't believe that 2007 is almost gone. I also can't believe how many quilts I made this year! Considering it's my first full year of quilting! Anyhow, This new year's day, I'm going to participate in Quiltbug's mystery project. I have my fabrics all ready. I'm going to make it for my living room, it's just a "throw" size. I know we don't sit in there very much, but I hate missing an opportunity to BUY MORE FABRIC! So, let's see if this photo works. Here're the 3 fabrics I'll be using!
July 2010~ update, never did finish the mystery quilt. I'll simply use this fabric for a different one!
Not much else going on around here. Which is fine with me!
