Rose, your quilts are fabulous! I, too, just finished my first quilting projects at the age of 60. My mom was a wonderful quilter, but sadly I didn't learn from her. She passed away 2 years ago. My son is getting married in the fall, and I knew she would have quilted something for the couple, so I made a Lucky Stars wall hanging for them. Now I am obsessed and made a baby quilt for a friend's daughter, a beach tote for me, and have placemats in progress. I have bookmarked enough ideas from this forum to last me until eyes and hands give out. I think that coming to the craft later in life has been a joy for me. My sense of family ties is stronger now, and as a retired teacher, this has been a creative outlet for me that I have been missing. Quilt on, Girlfriend!
