I sewed clothes quite a bit many years ago and then quit altogether and didn't start again until about 3 or 4 years ago. Had never sewn a quilt, saw one a lady had made, fell in love with it and bought it from her....$400 later I decided I could do it myself, so my adventure began. I'm hooked and I love it, still learning that's for sure but have time to do that. I am retired, remarried 17 yrs. ago, live in a very small rural town, 110 people, and love it. I am 67yrs. young and have 2 grown sons. Hubby has 2 sons and 1 daughter. We have a couple of acres with a lot of grass and large garden so it does take a little bit of time. Right now the strawberries are going crazy and the raspberries are getting ready to start. Love that fresh produce from our garden, so think the work is well worth it. Occasionally we go camping or boating...when we find the time.
