The neatest article appeared in our newspaper a couple of years ago about a man in his 80s who had always wanted a sewing machine. His wife wasn't interested in sewing so after she died he bought one and began making quilts. He lived in a retirement home and they told him he couldn't sew before 6a.m. or after 10 a.m because it bothered his neighbors. He had been sewing for a couple of years and finished several quilts. His comment was that he had 'just about worn out one sewing machine needle already'!
