Hi Peggy, glad to hear you'll be teaching at the longarm group. I've taught there a few times over the years and they are all nice people. They couldn't meet the two years of Covid lockdown and then lost the meeting place. I heard they had found a new place but it's quite a ways from where I live so I haven't been there since the move. After 20 plus years of longarm work for others, I'm pretty much just doing my own and a few for my favorite customers. This gives me time to pursue art quilts and to get back to painting fine art. I was able to retire early so I looked for ways to use my art degree that would keep me busy and provide some play money for my own projects. Too often I was so busy with other people's quilts that I didn't have time for my own. Now I have that time, I'm a bit jealous of sharing it. You probably feel the same way.
I'll check in to see when you're scheduled and if I can, I'll stop by to say hello.
Good luck - Jean

Hi Jean, I just found this!
You are correct: not a lot of customer work any more. The business seems to be "retiring" of its own volition. That's fine with me. Like you, I am concentrating on my art quilts and teaching classes. At this end of my life, I am choosing to do things that bring me joy!
Hope to see you. The meeting is March 18th.

Hi Linda, I was going through my quilts the other day and came across our international themed pieces. I don't even remember the last theme we went with and where they might be. Do you know anything about them? Seems like Covid put an end to many things.
Thanks - Jean

Shirley, did you sell all your Accuquilt dies? I've been collecting this past year and have quite a few, but thought I'd check to see what you're selling. I'm 74 now, but not ready to give up on making quilts and quilting them. I am cleaning out a lot of books and other "creative" things I'm no longer interested in. I can't believe how much "stuff" a person can collect over the years. Anyway... let me know what dies you still have. You may have a treasure I don't have yet.
Thanks - Jean

OK, I made an Excel file of those I am interested in selling. I hope that comes through ok. These are the old dies that are heavy 1" wood. There are a few GO dies at the end of the list. If you have any questions or need pics of anything, just let me know.
Now I have to go mow some grass...between rains. haha

Hi Shirley, sorry, I just had a chance to get back on my computer. I don't have the Studio Accuquilt cutter, but I do have the large Sizzix and it will cut the Studio dies. If you still have them I'd like the round flowers set 3 a b and c and the rose sampler set. Let me know how much the total would be with shipping. I can send the money by Pay Pal or check which ever you would prefer.
By the way, 74 is a very good age. Old enough to know better but young enough to still do it.
Thanks - Jean
