I can't believe I'm blogging

My goodness, just 6 months ago I was swearing I'll never go on facebook but I'm on FB and check it regularily to see what everyone is doing - really mostly to look at pictures friends and family post.  For a lot longer I said why should I blog?  Now I'm thinking - why shouldn't I blog about my quilting and life?  So here it is my very first blog.  I know I need a blog to connect to other blogs that I want to see so here I am.  Actually the requirement (as far as I can tell) to have a blog to access other blogs is what drove me here.  I'm not computer illeterate and in fact manage training for our highly technical staff of 700+ so I better know something about computers. When I'm not at work, I'm usually quilting or doing something related to quilting. 

My other passion is helping out the local animal shelter.  http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TN48.html  We've volunteered for the last 4 years - nearly every Saturday.  My shelter visits have slowed up for the sake of quilting but I still help out by making 2 - 3 quilts per year for them to raffle off.  Afterall, how many quilts do we need at the house and how many does my family need?  I can still spend my time doing what I love to do and share that gift with my choice of charitable organizations. 

I'm also involved with Project Linus in Huntsville, AL.  I get involved with different projects where I can make and share quilts. 

Speaking of sharing quilts - to get started with what I've done you can view my quilts online if you'd like.
I lean more and more toward contemporary but haven't made many of them YET.  I feel like I need to finish up some of the MANY projects I have started before I start on the contemporary quilts that grab at me when I see them. 

I guess this is it for my very first blog.  Let's see where it goes from here.
