    Very unlikely I'd have a baby at my age - lol But I'd let you give me one of your quilts anyday - they are so cute... love them all -

    I was in your shoes for my working years, doing what you are doing - so keep doing it - but my time is here now - I retired and have been at making quilts for the entire family since I retired. I have so far to go before having them all made, but I'm enjoying my time to the max.. Keep in mind, your turn will come!

    Your sentiment is shared! I am seriously considering changing from teaching graduate school to just working in a clinic so I can have more time for crafting!
