I always liked to sew but made clothes, curtains, covers for toasters, mixers etc. Then I didn't sew much. Well my cousin said, you should try quilting and she had a huge stash and I just thought how stupid to have all that material. Well I started quilting with her guidance and now am a full blooded quilter. I have a stash not as large as hers was but now I understand why. You just need to have that material incase a quilt pattern comes up for it!

I actually have sewn since I was about 6, but for alsmost 25 years I was so busy that I only touched my machine when I had to mend and hated even that. Happily I have a renewed passion for sewing and love quilting,at 72 I hope I still have a few more years to keep on quilting. Sometimes we just need a break I guess, however my sewing room now runneth over!!

I teach a little an always ask if we have a new quilter in the group, I then explain this is an addict habit and there is no curer for it ( I have asked my Dr. who just laugh at me), I dont even look at scrapebooking as I know I would get into that and want everything to go with it . Cathy
