Dear "older friends",
I am 74 years old and have been interested in buying an embroidery capable sewing machine but then I thought...at my age!!! and then I put my head on straight and thought about all the time I might be wasting if I live to be 93 like my mother and grandmother. Sooo, or should I say sew, I bought that embroidery machine thanks to my DH who is making me the world's best sewing studio (IMHO) and who said yes to spending the money on the machine. My goal is to sew a quilt for each of my yet to be born greatgrand children. How many will I need? Who knows but when God calls me there will always be someone to pick up where I left off. Recently, someone gave me her mother's fabrics and there were many hand pieced blocks just waiting for some love. When that studio is done, I will love the blocks and see to it that they join their friends and give them a new outlook on life.
Get busy; get sewing or whatever gives you pleasure!
Love and hugs from another "old" lady.
