PATST Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 1/3/2010 Well, after much consideration and prayer, I actually retired as to 12/31 - one of life's big steps, I imagine. And it feels so good and so right! I've had my Millie two years, have mostly quilted my own and loved it but never had the time to ppp - to really learn how to use the machine. Took a Myrna Ficken class in Sept - just wanted to be around other quilters to decide if I really wanted to do this -- and decided I did. So now I should have time to learn (ppp) and sew and do MY thing. Have lurked on this site and even added abit every now and then and have learned so much from all of you. Thank you -- and please, say a little prayer for me in my new status as a 'retiree'. Patsy in NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltinginthecountry Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Patsy, Congratulations with your retirement. How exciting to go a different direction. Good for you. I own Myrna Fickens DVD and learned allot. One of these days I hope to take her class. I'm a newbie and need all the help. Take care and see you on the forum.

LibbyG Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Good luck in your retirement. You'll love the freedom of being able to quilt all day or all night. After awhile you'll wonder why you ever worked so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Patsy, I retired in '03 at the age of 50 after having taught high school for 30 years. It has been a god-send to me and mine. I love. love it. sometimes I sleep until 7 and othertimes 8. I quilt for awhile and keep house for awhile and meet my friends for lunch. The only problem I have had and still have is that I dream every night about teaching school! Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Patsy I'm green with envy! I have to work another 7 years or so and I so want to be done! LOL I know I'm lucky to have a job and I do enjoy my job (most days) but I want more time for craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
