Hi...my name is Kathy. I am a quilter,gardner, an aging foodie, camper, and wife. I am 60-something, retired, living in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California with my husband,Garth, Cockapoo named Maggie and cat, Missy. We are both avid gardeners and like to camp and kayak. I am a quilter, and just started to make to make bags and totes that I sell on www.SquareBag.etsy.com. I sew quilts for our home and for Project Linus www.projectlinus.org and am active in our local garden club www.auburngardenclub.org and our Congregational Church. Since I have arthritis that slows me down a bit, I want to talk about the creative part of my life now that I am spending more time at home.
