Hi all! I've been reading everyones comments and looking at the lovely pictures of quilts and such. I've been quilting for several years now. More so since I retired 3 1/2 years ago. I absolutely love it. I don't get a chance much in the summer because I usually have some grandkids all through the summer. This week I have two, a twelve yr old and a 4 yr old. We go to Vacation Bible School every morning and the beach every afternoon. No time for quilting. Next week I'll only have the 12 yr old(he spends the entire summer) He'll be making his first quilt next week. What fun. Thanks everyone for all the info.
