I used to have cancer. I have been in remission for six years. I like to sew costumes. I love to quilt. I have never been to New York. I am retired from serving in the air force. I take classes.
My father had cancer. I like to sew. I am from New York. I went to school at Yale. I plant to go to business school. School is important to me.
I just got a new sewing machine! Oh awesome! Do you have any costumes in mind that you are going to work on? I am excited! I do not have one picked out yet, any ideas for me? I would love a new challenging costume to try!  I think something really extravagant would be fun! Something like Marie Antoinette would be a challenge! I need to hop back on the sewing wagon, I have just been so busy looking at business schools. That is a great idea. I will look for a costume pattern with that in mind. You should get back into sewing, it may help manage the stress of looking for a school! Any front runners on the school search? No not yet. I keep looking at schools up north when I really need to be looking at school down south where it is warm! I think I might do some sort of embroidery project since I do not have the time to dedicate to a full pattern.   Going to school in the warm weather sounds like a good call if you ask me! I sure enjoy embroidery as well. I love the attention to detail that is needed. Sure helps me relax.  It's true! Does your sewing machine have any new features?  Yes it does, and honestly I have some learning to do! I need to read the manual so I can use it to its full potential. I can even hook it up to the computer to download embroidery patterns.  Oh wow! I can't believe all the things that are possible today! It would be really interesting to embroider the same pattern as the machine and see how much faster the machine is!  That is a fun idea. I may have to challenge myself with that next. I will send you picture of both, and you can tell me how I did compared to the machine.  That sounds like a grand idea! I am sure your hand stitched one will have more heart. Do you have a favorite kind of quilt? I love crazy quilts! I hope to see some historic ones at the textile museum.
