Started out sewing yoyos for my GM's quilting bee at about four. Then doll clothes and my own clothes. I have tried every kind of needlework there is. Only thing I couldn't do was tatting cause I'm left handed and no one could teach me. I had to teach myself knitting, crocheting etc. My son just brought me a beautiful cross stitch from China. Plan to work on it watching (?) TV. It's a biggy so don't think it will be finished till Christmas. Why? Cause I love the joy of the colored fabrics, the fun of putting puzzles (?) together and the pride in the finished product.
