We all have preconceived notions of how a person might look before we actually meet them ...my surprises were:
1. Patrice, Henry, LiveToTeach I thought you were all older. You're just kids.
2. Tim, you ARE a man...I've wondered about you and "Steve." We all use "board" names so didn't know for sure but had about decided from your comments that you probably are a man but wasn't sure. The picture of your feet in your avatar was no help.
I truly am surprized at how many of you are young. I'm so thrilled to see this as I have worried that quilting might be becoming one of our lost Americana art forms as we don't seem to have alot of folks younger than 60 in the quilt groups around here and to reinforce that way of thinking, all the fabric stores and departments where we use to buy our quilting supplies are now GONE! I'm glad to see that quilting isn't only for us older folks. Keep up your good work, all of you.
Feathers, I read your post and laughed. LOL. Yes I'm a youngster at 23 but quilting and crafts are my life. My grandmother and mother in law taught me everything I know. My grandma used to sit me on her lap when I was little while she was sewing. I used to think of how I'd love to grow up to fill her shoes some day...it's funny looking back now. Now, that my grandma's and aunts that sew and quilt are older, they don't make too many quilted items. I guess they've passed the torch to me..and thankful I am! :)
