My Mom was a wonderful quilter; I haven't taken it up yet, but plan to soon. I love looking at all the beautiful quilts on this site. Love crafting, that is what keeps idle fingers busy :)
Boy is this subject bringing back mamories!! When I first started 4-H, the sewing leader asked, "does anyone know how to pull a thread?" Of course, eager beaver here, says, "I do" and proceeded to take hold of a thread laying on the table and pulled it!! I was really embarassed when I found out the 'real' way to "pull a thread". :oops:
