More about me

I am a 50+ female lucky enough to be married to a husband that is patient with my whims and activities.  He supports me with the horses, and goes alons with me when I decide a trip is called for, even at the last minute.  He helps me pick fabric for a new quilt, or new clothes.  He has a wonderful sense of style and color.

 I am an equestrian and ride dressage.  I am currently competing at 1st level, and in 2008 I finished 49th in the nation at 1st level freestyle!  I am lucky enough to have a schoolmaster that is teaching me to ride better and at a higher level.  I hope we can move up to 2nd level in January.

I am also a quilter.  I design a lot of my own quilts, and have won awards for my work.  It's my goal to be accepted in a large quilt show soon.  I have done commission work, and my quilts are all over the world.  I am president of our local quilt guild.
