Except for needing maternity clothes as necessary, I've worn the same size clothes for 50+ years, so I don't need to make clothing and I don't get a whole lot of quilting done, either. There's rarely anything on t.v. to justify even turning it on.

I've concluded that what I'm basically doing nowadays is just taking up space.

Having said all that, the quilting hobby is thoroughly pleasing to me; I love it, but production is mighty slow and I don't care!
