Please don't misunderstand, I have nothing against horses. I love them, and there's nothing quite like seeing a group of horses running around the pasture or just calmly grazing. This is the Horse Capital of the World according to the Chamber of Commerce. I never had the pleasure of learning to ride -- we worked in the family garden and sometimes in other gardens/vineyards, etc. I've been sewing for most of my life and I love it -- it is attainable for me, and it has provided many useful items such as clothing for myself, baby gifts, a baby quilt (or 2) clothing for my son, a suit I made for my husband, potholders, table runners, and large quilts. That was my rationale, and not meant for any criticism of the horses at all!
