OK....let's dig a little deeper. Where on the south shore did you live? We lived in Randolph for 25 years before retiring down here on the Cape. I too have been sewing for what seems forever. While in Randolph I worked as a church secretary. I've only worked for Stop and Shop for 6 years. My mother taught me to sew when I was little and I have made a lot of own clothes up until a few years ago. Once the grandchildren came along I did a lot of sewing for them. I started quilting probably about 15 years ago when I took a course that was being run by the Adult Education dept. in Randolph. I think it was about a 6 week course and touched on a lot of different patterns. Now that I'm not doing as much sewing for myself or "my boys" I'm doing more quilting and really enjoying it! Just finished a quilt for my youngest grandson. All 4 now have quilts made by "Gramma Jo". I'll be posting a pic soon.
