My sister and I used to get together to quilt, but we have both had major health issues lately and so have not gotten together at all for a few months now. She had breast cancer, a mastectomy and breast reconstruction. I have lupus, fibromyalgia, and residual pain from severe auto accident injuries. When we do get together, it is so much fun! We have made many wedding and baby quilts together for our children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews and their children too. We also work on our own projects when we don't have a project like a wedding or baby quilt. One time, my sister picked out a pattern and fabric and we made twin quilts for our sewing rooms. She also has quilting friends and when she is feeling well enough, they all get together on Thursdays and sometimes on Saturdays to quilt. It is a wonderful "women's" time together. I feel very blessed to be included in this quilt group when I am able to go.
