Ah, a M.O.M. (Mother of Multiples) who can relate!! My girls are each so different, but quilting was the one place that leveled the playing field - something they could all do equally. It has been fun to share my passion with my girls. I made all their clothes when they were little (usually the same pattern, three different colors), but they won't let me do that anymore so I "forced" them to make the same quilt ;).
We made it to one Triplet Connection Convention when it was held at Disneyland a few years back. Loved the support from the magazine, and from Janet herself. She is a quilter too, and now lives nearby! Congratulations on your retirement - I figure there is a time and place for everything... maybe it will be your time for quilting! Yeah!!
