At age 75, I started quilting. Since then, I have made almost 200 quilts. Yes, for me, it is a very expensive hobby because I work on quilting every spare minute. I have never had a problem with giving away quilts. I make them for my daughters, my granddaughter, my grand sons, the foster children, relatives, my sister, my friends, my grand children's friends, etc. People seem to love getting one of my quilts and I so enjoy making and giving them away.
