I am a SAHM to my two+ year old son. Hubby is a grad student at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. He retired from the Marines last year and we relocated to Central Coast CA so he could attend school.

I've been a member of my local quilt guild, Central Coast Quilters, for over a year. I've been the treasurer for the guild this year and will continue on next year even though they work me to death some months. :) I enjoy sewing and have been active with my guild's philanthropy quilting group as well as a nonprofit project called Days for Girls (see www.projectthrive.org).

I have been quilting and learning to sew for about 7 years or so. I tend to make simple quilts even though I absolutely love star and pineapple blocks. My longest UFO at this point is a pineapple star large wallhanging. It's all paperpieced but I don't have an outer border picked out.

I find that I like to buy lots of red and blue fabrics. :) I generally love most fabric but have a hard time buying orange, green and brown. I only recently started to acquire batik and kid/novelty prints (my son is not quite three). I don't have ANY 1930s repros or asian fabrics because I'd have to start a whole new fabric stash just for them, KWIM? LOL
