I have been sick with the flu since my birthday. I finally got myself out of bed and decided to go treasure hunting. I did not find any estate sales worth going to. I went to a nearby town and found a nice resale shop. I found this quilt frame in a box. I have been wanting one like this for a long time.
I have been quilting since I was about 18 years old. Let me think that over. I really started making patchwork when I was about 10. My grandmother gave me some double knit scraps and taught me how to cut out squares. She had just moved into the world of sewing pant suits from double knit.
I also remember my first home and making my very first patchwork quilt. I made a flower garden quilt and handquilted around each individual octagon. I had no clue what I was doing and that king size quilt took me years to finish. My oldest daughter has it now.
I collect quilts and tops whenever I see a good deal. I can’t wait to get this frame up and going. I’ll keep you guys updated.
Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
