I will be 74 in a few days and have been quilting about 15 years. I have more fabric that I can never finish in my lifetime and I can't wait to see the new fall lines. Yes, I will buy more, more, more. My kids know to call my fellow quilters when I go and they will come clean out my lovely stash. Meanwhile I am loving every minute. I am a widow of 8 years, my mother died in September at 95, my sister at 60', brother at 56, my dad at 59 and sometimes I feel alone but quilting and all the wonderful quilters I continue to meet keeps me smiling and having fun.
