More about me
I am a professional quilter, author, columnist, grief therapist, ordained minister. I live in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, after moving here 4 years ago.  I am married to an Englishman (5 yrs) and am so very very happy (at last). We have two cats, a beagle and a min-pin/Jack Russell, whom we adore. Have three adult children, of which one has a traumatic brain injury that has left her handicapped mentally (slightly). My husband and I have a quilting business at www.BooksandStitches.com where we also sell book covers and other items. I have a blog that is always full of pictures at http://pastorbear.livejournal.com .
