This is one of the cutest articles i have read in a long time. My previous husband was a long haul truck driver too. He lived alone for a long time and learned to sew and iron (from his grandparents) better than any one i knew. This was even before he became a truck driver. Back in the old country it was not considered necessarily a woman's hobby or job. It was more a matter of being able to take care of yourself.

I attend a church of about 200 plus and always finding someone new that quilts. HMMM- maybe I need to organize a quilting group.

Oh, Foxflower, you think just like me! I ran for the calculator right away. Unfortunately I came up with a different # ($76) so we still haven't settled anything.

Anybody else want to help figure this out?

Never mind, I figured out what I did wrong. $171 it is...and I spent waaaay more than that in Lancaster last weekend at the AQS show.

One more comment and I'll shut up. If these figures came from that quilt magazine survey (you know, the one where they just asked "How much do you spend a year on quilting?") it can't be all that scientific. I know I just took a wild guess so who knows how close I actually came.
