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.
