7 random facts about me
1. I love, love, love the look & feel of fabric. The colors & textures seem to come out & touch all of my senses.2. Even weirder---I love, love, love to iron fabric.
3. I would much rather sew by hand than with machine.
4. I would love to open my own yarn store. My husband groans when he hears this because it's only about every day that I say this to him.
5. There is something about the hydrangea that completely mesmermizes me. So beautiful. The hues of purples, blues, white...each intricate petal forms such a gorgeous blossom.
6. Autumn is my favorite season.
7. My husband bought me a box of crayons for an anniversary present. Strangely I have received diamonds from him but crayons are still my favorite.

Now, for some of you, you'll have to pretend with me. I know how hard it was for me to list personal facts about myself because I am a very private person. But transport yourself back in time to when women sat around in their desirable quilting bees.
Still with me? Good. Because I know those women of long ago shared personal tidbits about themselves all in the name of warm friendship between quilters, neighbors & friends. And I secretly desire to sit down with all of you and actually share in laughter, gabbiness and the stitching of a hand-pieced quilt. Keeping that in mind, I am tagging--remember--think: virtual quilting bee!--to share 7 random facts about yourself: 4. QuilterSal's Pieceful Harbor
5. Spring Thinking
6. Suzy's Quilting Room
7. Tallgrass Prairie Studio
I know, I know most of you have been tagged 6 times since Tuesday, but just pretend that I am that old, old woman invited to the quilting bee that is sooooo hard of hearing & a tad bit forgetful and you just need to repeat everything many, many times just so that I can hear it and understand it.....or, just smile and nod and link back to the post that lists the first time you participated in this...*grin*

Dawn, I'd be happy to attend the virtual quilting bee! I know what you mean about hydrangeas...
Yes, I have done the 7 random things before, but thanks for the thought and the link! I'm with you on ironing fabric, and if you open a yarn store could it be near my house?
Hooray...I have been tagged!! Thanks, pal. Fresh crayons are the best...btw. :)
Oh my goodness someone else who loves a new box of crayons! I know exactly how you feel. :-)
Wow -- my first tag! Coolios. Thanks so much for thinking of me. I'll gladly play along. :o)
P.S. A fresh box of crayons and Autumn are my favorites, also! I'm really going to miss Autumn when we move to Florida.
