But, back to my question...how old are we all? I'm willing to bet I'm not the only 38 year old mother of 3 children under the age of 12, eh?
I'm not 38 any longer, but I HAVE been 39 for quite a few years!! But I did start quilting at about 25. I had been sewing since I was 9 - starting off with Barbie clothes and moving on to my own clothes, curtains and a sofa slipcover (which if I ever want one again, I will GLADLY pay someone else to make!) Sewing and quilting has been such an enjoyable pastime, a real stress reducer, not to mention all the clothes and quilts I've made. I'd bet dollars to donuts your husband's pasttimes are not as productive as quilting, or will be cherished for many years like a handmade quilt! Keep on quilting!!!!
