[Finding_Designs] Hello from Anne

 

A note from a Newbie :)
 
Hi - I'm Anne.  I live in Middle Georgia, retired from DoD 4 years ago, and love to sew & embroider!  I've always sewn, my mom started teaching me by letting me watch when I was quite young & then letting me start stitching around 9.  As a retirement gift to myself I bought an embroidery machine, a Futura 200 which was replaced with the 250 & I also have a 100 for a backup machine. I wish I had known someone that embroidered by machine that would have told me to go with the biggest hoop size I could afford at that time! 
 
I started making weighted blankets for children on the Autism Spectrum shortly after I retired.  The one request turned into many & I now make several different items & add as customers make requests.  I add embroidery to almost every item to make it special.  (
 
I recently separated from my husband after almost 36 years of marriage.  He decided he wanted more out of life (a girlfriend) so I ended up leaving.  People always say good things usually come from sad or difficult times...I'm still waiting but I did end up with a much nicer sewing room :).
 
Thanks for letting me join the group & I'm looking forward to reading your posts and listening to your ideas & projects.
 
Cheers - Anne "Stitches"
