About The Quilt Ladies

My Story and that of The Quilt Ladies

I am on a solo adventure which is starting it’s 20th year ! ! Who knew, from a dream in my sewing room in Windom, MN, to an 1892 Victorian home in Spirit Lake, Ia to a 1970 ranch in S. Sioux City, NE to here in our little corner of the world in Florida. The Quilt Ladies have survived and thrived. Thanks to all of you ! Along the way learning, growing and it’s still here, a bit new and bit’s old. My Quilt Pattern Shop

About ME !  My name is Beth Ann, I am sixty- one years young and living in central Florida, about 20 minutes for the white sandy beaches we all love and right on a golf course, that I have never played on, but it’s pretty. I was born and raised in Iowa and have lived in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and now in Florida, which I still can’t believe.

I have Husband, two boys, two daughter-n-laws and four Grands, whom all live an airplane ride away. We travel to them, a couple of times a year and I’ve made myself learn and USE text. I was home with the boys for years, working part-time at a library, the home office of a jewelry chain and then at  banks, Husband’s career took up to 10 different retail stores and there was always a bank.

We live in a condo with all the things you think you will have when you move to Florida. I always explain to people moving to Florida is like going to college, no one is from here, and everyone has a story and just because people are retired doesn’t change their personalities to the good or bad. Once not nice, retiring will not make you nice. That’s parts of my, How to Survive Retirement Book

Over twenty years ago, I self-published by books, The Quilt Ladies Collection, each book on its own and sold at quilt shows. I added titles and quilts as I went. From all printed at home, to getting them printed in color by a printer to now all twelve titles available on Kindle and Nook, in one book. What a circle of events and how technology has changed everything. My printers cost 2007 was 5.95 for one book, sold for 8.95 and I now I sell all twelve for 9.99. It’s so crazy now it’s all changed. You see my tag line always and thank you for purchasing and supporting me through my book, The Quilt Ladies ONLY on Kindle and NOOK

After I had the books done I was teaching and needed quilt patterns of my own to teach with. Little Quilt Ladies Quilt Patterns were launched. I have since changed the name to The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop, just easier for me. The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop HERE for YOU

So, here I am, living in Florida, (I say again!) which I still can’t believe. Taking care of my Mom, Husband’s parents are here too and doing what I like and need to do daily. From this site here, www.bethanndoing.com and Facebook posts, to quilting, drawing, taking pictures, decorating and everything in between.

In a nut shell that’s me, Beth Ann, One Happy (Quilt) Lady !

How to Survive Retirement a handbook

My Book, “How to Survive Retirement” 

The reason for this book, Husband and I retired early, he was 57 and I was 55. We planned, saved and made it happen. Most people hear us say our ages and they ask, “What do you do all day?” VERY, very rarely to they ask, “How do you afford it?” We are just over five years into our dream and we are having a ball. Here in my book is what we learned, some practical, some fun and some things you just need to know.

2020 Year of Happiness

Today’s Holiday is “Festival of Sleep Day”

Enjoy a Quilt !

As a Quilter, nothing makes me happier than a well made bed. From the mattress, sheets, pillows and then the quilt ! !
OH my, it just all makes me happy.

So, the Festival of Sleep is all about the bed for me. I’m one who can shower, make my dinner, eat it in bed, read a book, work on my lap top, have television on and complain after hours that I have to get up and clean out !  To go to bed ! I love a good bed !

ENJOY Festival of Sleep today !  Over the years you have seen my bed in all different combinations.

Every Day a Holiday Jan 1st to Jan 14th, 2020

Quick and Easy Holiday’s !

2020 Year of HappinessI’m making 202o my year of HAPPINESS.
It’s taken me years to get to this point. I’m going to try new things here on my site too and if it works it works,  if not so be it. No worries.
I have been taking care of others for WAY too long and I’m done living their lives and missing my own. Our travel this past year proved that (to me), all was fine without me.  I have figured out being involved, but not being involved (that’s for another day), laughter is key and with that a better heart.  My daily holiday list have become a go to for me. It makes me stop and celebrate every day, l like the fun ideas of happiness. Most day’s it’s an afternoon coffee with Husband on our Lanai, a moment to stop, breathe, center myself and be happy.
SO, Here I go into 2020

Thank you 2019

Happy 2020 ! !

Thank you 2109… We have had a FANTASTIC year and finger’s crossed the same wonderful in 2020!

Reflections as time passes is my way of remembering. The travel, the laughter and the moments of moving forward. Husband and I have faced everything head on and together. Laughter has been our life line. Our kids and grands are all health and have so much love to share with us. Husband has taken on projects around our home. He takes my drawing and ideas and runs with them. 

Care giving has taken on a new form and the education of that has been a mile stone for me and learning to say “No”or “Stop” has fed my strength and understanding to take care of myself first. Silence is my home and answering with that has given me my own power to let things and other’s be or go. Drama is not a word or a way I do anything any more. 

We had the privilege to go on a Viking River Cruise, it was unbelievable and all I can really say is, “Get outside of your own world and see everything, it’s all wonderful ! “ My first time overseas and I’m sure that I was in Passau, Germany before…. magic or my first life?? I carry my camera always and here are just a few of 2019. I totaled the photo’s for 2019, 11,248, what a year ! ! 

This photo below is as we pulled out of Budapest, Hungry into the Danube River, and it really looked like that.  The Church photo is from St. Stephen’s Church in Vienna, the only photoshop done on it was the guy in the bright green stripped shirt, he just wouldn’t move ! He has been deleted !
