When I went to the Ricky Tims seminar in Glenn Falls, NY, he started a survey to find out who was the eldest quilter in the group. They asked for anybody 80 and older to stand up and a fairly large group did, and started to make them sit down in increments of 5 years. When they got to 95 there was one lady still standing. They then starting counting the years one by one. At this time they thought she couldn't hear, but they went on. She finally sat down when they got to 103. She was smiling big. She got a lot of fabrics as gifts and they announced that on that day she got herself a new Bernina. I that if I live that long I can still sew like that.
