If you have been following MVR for a while and reading our bios in the programs, then you already know that I live on a lake in NH, I have been ringing bells for almost 40 years, have rung in Japan, Italy, Israel, and England, and I worked for Schulmerich bells for a while after I retired from teaching math. But you might not know that I also enjoy a number of different crafts – from the general category of “building things” (it is not polished enough to call it woodworking) such as this kayak rack that I made this summer, to knitting and sewing.
I knit one sweater since COVID started, and have almost finished a second one that I started a long time ago. I have been working on a quilt – both of my kids have a quilt that I made for them when they headed off to college and another one that was a wedding gift. I have made a lot of wall hangings, several baby quilts, but my current project is the first bed-sized quilt that I’ve made for myself. One more border to add, and then make the “sandwich” and quilt it!
But I have another project that will delay getting the quilt finished – every other year we get together with our kids and grandkids for Christmas, and I have been making Christmas pj’s for those gatherings. This is the picture from 2018. It is time to get started on that project for this year!
