To me it was really nice to see what someone could do without all of the gadgets and gizmos, and she turned out BEAUTIFUL quilts!
Give it a watch if you think it will interest you.

Thanks a lot! But to me back in 79 ain't been that long ago.That is the way my grandmother done 85% of her tops she past at the age of only 56 back in 1977.I remember this time period very well I just wish I had one of her home made Quilts.
