This thread made me smile. Last year my grandmother cleared out her sewing cabinet and sent almost everything home with me. She told her sisters that she would no longer be making the baby quilts she customarily made for new nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews and great grands. She told me she was TOO OLD TO QUILT! (She used to take whole pieces of cloth like a panel, layer it with WOF pieces and an old blanket and tie it--she doesn't piece or do any other quilting than tying). She just turned 72! She won't learn to use the computer and now only breaks out her sewing machine for simple mending. I think the next time I go to visit her, I'll take a printed copy of this thread along with me! :-)
