I collect quilts - new, old, beautiful (and some not so perfect). My first was from the estate of my great aunt. It's made up of tiny hexagons, partially frayed from age. I'm slowly restoring and replacing where it's been damaged by time.
I also collect vintage Barbies, fabrics of any kind, old thimbles, early electric typewriters and am the proud owner of three 1940's Singer Featherweight sewing machines.
