I am over 62, and just started to quilt when my Mom came to live with me about 6 years ago. Her ideas on quilting and mine are miles apart. She did it all by hand, I tried, hated my stitches and went to the sewing machine. She passed away last Dec. and going through her room, neatly packed in plastic containers I have found many, many, pieces of fabric. And many, many completed quilt blocks. Now between my fabric stash and her's my Sun porch is a mess. I have it covered in fabric piles, projects half finished and piles of quilting books, etc. This is so much fun. I am sure I have more money in this hobby than I realize. I don't care. When I die my daughters can sort through it and maybe they will catch the quilting bug too. LOL
