And go to meetings. Then I come home and use the computer at night too. YEP.

I don't know how accurate it is to history, but the quilt turned out really nice.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688785042826378058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332229841630769565.post-47007518301080775992010-02-07T00:32:47.301-06:002010-02-07T00:32:47.301-06:00I'm a medical transcriptionist and work 32-36 ...I'm a medical transcriptionist and work 32-36 hours per week with a computer. My pay check is directly related to speed & accuracy, and mentally, that's tough as I get older. I get tired of looking at a monitor & I don't go immediately to our home computer to read favorite quilt blogs. I need a break, whether it's an hour or a few days. <br /><br />I've read 5 or 6 of the Elm Creek Quilts books and have a couple more on a shelf. As I read them, I get very wrapped up with the lives of the characters, especially Sylvia. They feel like real quilting friends.<br /> <br />I've not made any of the underground RR quilt blocks, but I'm sure I will in the future. There are such differing opinions about whether quilts truly were used to direct slaves to safe homes. I prefer to think that they did, but maybe that's just a romantic viewpoint.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332229841630769565.post-19049799729017557762010-02-06T21:52:20.663-06:002010-02-06T21:52:20.663-06:00I agree, the computer is fun but I wouldn't wa...I agree, the computer is fun but I wouldn't want to sit in front of one all day.
