Wish I would have started quilting sooner but did to learn to crochet and knit when younger lucky to have my DH's aunt live downstairs to teach me. I do prefer crochet but do knit. Down here in Fl. it's usually to hot for sweaters,etc. I do crochet afghans for deco's for my house and also for all my kids. I still have a daughter up N and I do make things for her. I've started gathering fabric and hope to be able to accomplish a lot after my foot surg heals. Sue
