I have been quilting for at least 40 years. I machine make at least 20 Linus quilts a month. I handquilt with a group of ladies at the local Senior center on monday mornings, I belong to a small Bee that meets twice a month for a couple of hours and then does lunch. I belong to two guilds but have not been very actve in either the last year or so. Due to a rare autoimmune disease I contracted almost 13 year ago I haven't worked outside of my home since. I usually have some kind of handquilting project to work on every evening while watching TV with my hubby. If I am not doing some sewing or quilt related project I am reading. Aside from meal prep and very simple housework I don't do much else. I have a woman who does the more strenous housework that I can no longer physically do. I do some charity quilting like the pillowcase dresses. My grandchildren are all in their teens or older and don't have time for us old folks.
