I did quilt a little when I was raising five kids and homeschooling a few long years ago. Now that I am somewhat retired I have had more time to persue the sewing/quilting that I would like to. My hat is off to those very ambious young Mothers/Fathers who quilt and get a lot of them finished instead of being left in the UFO Department.

Just wondered how many Grandparents are out there. Aren't Grandkids the greatest!
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh, forgot to mention I have ten!
