My Aunt Priscilla. She died in 2002 at the age of 92. She was Mennonite and had quilted her whole life. She never married and worked full-time in a factory to support herself. She took in people's quilt tops and handquilted them to make extra money. Though she retired at the age of 76, she still handquilted to supplement her Social Security and retirement.

I asked her one time how long it took her to quilt a quilt. She told me that when she was working full-time it took her 3 weeks to do a king-size...but after she retired it took her 6 weeks! ROFL

She was a hilarious person to be around and was still sharp as a tack, lived by herself, and even still drove up till the day she died.

RIP Aunt Priscilla! I know you are in heaven quilting right now!
