DH and I travel a lot (especially with our g-kids) and sometimes we are asked to take care of one family while Mama is off documenting research and experiences on a tall ship (it's her "ultimate medicine")
. I started quilting in 2000 and have just over a hundred quilts which is less than 10 a year. Not so many, but my life if full in other wonderful ways. When we are home I don't have to do cooking or cleaning because DH is retired, supportive of my quilting, and says he does the easy stuff, and I quilt.
