That was all I needed to see, I bought one on the spot and brought it home and I haven't stopped. I have about 47 ggrand kids and announcements of more to come. I really have lost track of just how many because my grandkids can't figure out what causes it. I love them and love making quilts for them.
Welcome to the board ggram87. I am sorry for the loss of your husband and glad to hear you have found something to fill your days and bring you pleasure. Being 87 years old with 47 grandchildren, you bring much wisdom, and you will be a blessing to this board. I hope you come here often.
