You and I have something in common! My husband retired 1 1/2 yrs. ago from the Burlington/Northern Santa Fe Railroad where he worked for 36 yrs. We could never plan on doing anything with him. If he was at home, fine, but he was often gone for over 24 hrs. The phone would ring and he was gone within an hour.
I quilt. My sister, nieces and I quilted together. My Mother and aunts quilted. My two Grandmothers quilted. They all quilted by hand and pieced the quilts by hand. When we showed my Mom how to use the rotary cutter and sew the quilts by hand, she realized how much quicker she could make quilts for her 24 grandchildren and 50 greatgrandchildren!
