**My newest projects...learning copywriting skills; piecing a reversable quilt for my daughter; braintanning a deer hide. **Two historical figures I respect…Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln. **An unusual skill I possess…making cheese from goat milk. I make several kinds (which require no special inoculations), and have several more I would like to try. **My favorite person…my husband.
