Well, if I quilted for a living, I'd be sure to lose weight..........by starvation! I'm a slooooow quilter! My grandmother used to hand quilt for others, however, it was just to suppliment their income. She also sewed garments for others, catered meals, and sold eggs and cream! She had a huge vegetable garden every year, and sold produce, and canned nearly all their winter's food supply. And, her house was always spotless!!! Boy, when I think back to her busy life, it makes me feel like a lazy slob!!! :oops:
