You aren't really old! Seventy Four is young, I am just two years younger than you. We may go a tish slower than the youngsters (haha), but we get our stuff done at our leisure. I have my quilting, plus I have a quilt that I am embroidering (Christmas - working with red thread - I am tired of red thread) (all cross stitch - gift from a friend - she hates me!) - But honestly, it is easy to carry around with me if my husband needs physical therapy, or I have to wait for something, I just take my little case that has everything in it and find myself a light and a chair and sew until it is time to go home. Works great when I have to take Mom to the dentist or the dr. I have plans in the back of my head and will eventually get to them. But I sure am not going to beat myself up. It'll get done - maybe not today or tomorrow, but it'll get done. My Quilt - My Rules. Edie
