    GOOD FOR YOU! You might be interested to know that there is a goodsized motorcycle club that runs the up and down winding roads of New Hampshire, comprised entirely of elders... plus others....
    If you ever get down to the mid-Texas coast to Port Lavaca, I will give you a piece of pie, a shower, and a place to sleep, as well as we can brag about our quilts!
    I'm online, but if you get stuck - ask the mayor in his antique shop for jeannie the quilter - or go across the street and ask Jean Wehmeyr in her quilt shop, "Be 4 its a Quilt" for the "other" Jean that lives in seagreens.
    Forgot to say I am 81...just interested in quilts.

    Welcome. Glad to hear you like quilting. It sounds like you are a fast quilter, not like me, thinking about it but not getting started and getting quilts finished.

    Welcome to this great board. How many hot pads did you make, with how many different patterns? What a great challenge...
