I learned in the late 70's to have an craft to do in the winter months when I lived in NH and then 2 boys came along so quilting was put on hold. I picked it back up a couple of years ago with quilter at work giving classes. It was such fun to create. Recently have been quilting in between taking care of my mother(92) and it has really helped me mentally cause I can tune everything out but quilting. I find quilting very relaxing, even the unsewing. But best of all is the delight in the faces of the people that get the quilts.
