It's a little funny, but I bought a sewing machine for my niece for one of her b'days, and I've tried to hint that she should learn to quilt.. I really can understand why she doesn't have time, as she takes a duel curriculm, and she's going into her senior year at high school with a 99 average.. She is going to be the art editor of her year book, but I really want her to learn.. I can still hope..
