I have been thinking how incredibly blessed we are to be in the quiting world.  We have such great people to work with and meet others all the time.  You can never be bored with quilting as there is so much to learn and to do.  I am sure you are just like me and your "bucket" list goes on and on and is continually added to. 

Always new fabric, thread and patterns to choose from!  I love it when I get an new quilting magazine and can see whats coming and the new tools. I love the quilt shows, to go and see everyone's ideas.  The quilts are awe inspiring and take my breath away.  I am always amazed at the creativeness that go into those quilts, let alone the talent to make them.

Then on top of that I work in that field and get to live my dreams because it is "work"!  I have tons of email friends I have made over the years, who share what they are doing and include me and I them, in our quilting experiences.  They share their families and lives with me.  I make new ones weekly.

I was in the mortgage business in management for 25 years and we never shared our secrets of the business.  They were always kept confidential as that was our niche in the market.  So you can imagine when I started working in the quilting world, how surprised I was that quilters share everything.  There are no secrets, we just want to help everyone with all we learn.  Everyone is your friend not your competitor.  We want to share our secrets because it is so fulfilling and fun.

We are all truly blessed to be quilters!  Thanks to each of you for sharing with me and being my quilting friends.
