Better go and get some inspiration from Libby is there a good place to look. I remember the show with fmq twisted ribbons but from all the quilts made for Clara she did lots of wonderful things

What about voluntary work something completely different to teaching it could lead to a new hobby.
Over here we have distance learning courses on all sorts of things. I'm sure you must over the pond and U3A (University of the 3rd Age) which gives an opportunity to get involved in all sorts of activities physical, social and intellectual. Perhaps he can start a group if he's struggling to find an interest.

I'm definitely going to have protected time for my new machine now and start by making thank you cards for my leaving presents and party.

Tribblemom OFFLINE Posts: 327 Thank you received: 158	Terrie, since your dh was a teacher, maybe he should take a class in something that interests him and see if it leads to a hobby. Maybe check with your local Park and Recreation Dept.

My DH retired from teaching three weeks ago, and is beginning to get antsy. I've suggested quilting, but he didn't seem interested.

Any advice? Everyone is telling him to 'take it slow'.

I like the "inspired by Libby" challenge idea. Honestly, however, I really didn't 'know' about her until she had the stroke and there was such an outpouring of love and expressions of care etc. So, my 'experience or inspiration' of Libby is how the quilting community pour out to her. . I may have seen a show with her, or snippets of her teachings, but at one point, all those 'great' quilters were all still in one box. Obviously she is a super-star, in both talents and personality. If I get to do the Challenge this time, it would be on that theme. I've looked up some of her stuff and it really is awe-inspiring!

zippitydodaw OFFLINE Posts: 129 Thank you received: 35	Welcome to the other side of life Wendy. You will enjoy it so much. My only problem with retirement is wondering where all my time goes. I think I accomplish less now that I am retired than I did when I worked full time. Oh well, I have all day, whats the rush? Judy
