John -
I am the computer poster, fabric picker, and fabric cutter in my family. My wife was the sewer. That arrangement worked fine until se started taking a class at Little Blessings in Crossville, TN.
The teacher and my wife convinced me to work on my own quilt. The rest, as they say, is history. I have been working on my class quilt, as well as some friendship stars for two of our nieces. My Rail Fence is looking really good. We learned a lot from Julia; if any of you are near Crossville I highly recommend her.
The niece's quilts are coming along great and I haven't lost too many points. :-) They will be late Christmas presents when we can get them done and quilted. For now they are happy with their matching pillow cases.
I'm finding that I enjoy the work and am glad that I can contribute to the completion of the projects. My wife sings, so she has a good creative outlet. I sing in the church choir with her, but that's about the extent of that. I'm glad we have something creative that we can do together. Our dining room has become the sewing room, and it gets a lot more use now.
