I started out at 16 in a 5 and 10 store, then a loan rep at a finace co, then at a bank and then started doing the good ole tax return in 1965 and I am still doing them. The tax returns are just like sewing. the 5 and dime and the finance co are both gone and the bank had changed from a locally owned bank to new style of banks. I want the locally owned bank. Everything is right there. I thought quilting would be boring, even though my grandmother did it and I remember sitting under the quilting frame while the ladies quilted. Then I got lost in quilting, I love the material, just love looking at it--hate cuting up but then I finally do and I really enjoy hand work. I just lose myself in it, no one else is around.
