I was only five when I first tried stitching which drove my mom crazy as she was sure that I would hurt myself. She only mended a little and didn't understand my obsession with fabric, needles and thread. Finally when I was nine, she said "There's all my sewing stuff, go do what you have to do" and I've been stitching ever since. It's been a wonderful thing to do when I have had to wait for appointments or at the arena, ball park or pool for hours. I hate wasting time and love to have something to show for all of those hours spent waiting.
