I'll be 54 in November. I've been sewing since I was 12. That was the year Santa put a brand new Singer under the tree (not that I'd been begging). Sewing was something special that I shared with my Grandmother. It skipped a generation as my Mother never sewed. Until I retired a couple of years ago, I did mostly garments and Home Dec. I sewed all of my niece's prom dresses. She used to take me to the mall and say "Aunt Cindy do you think you could make a dress like this?" Now I have my first granddaughter and my daughter's friends ooh and ahh over her cute clothes. I have many requests, but I sew only for family and a few close friends. Then I discovered quilting and that has been my passion for the last few years. Sewing is an art and a way to express your creative soul just as any other art form. Tell your DH he is lucky to have such a creative and unique wife!
