Wow GramE...You are one fantastic woman!! To take a "roadblock" and make it into something as wonderful as you make is remarkable...Ive always been crafty, making things since I was a little girl..My grandmother was my inspiration...she was confined to her house but always had her big wooden quilt rack set up in her dining room and would sew every day by hand. Back then she didn't really have a "store" to go shopping in but I would run to Mattinglys or Ben Franklins if she needed thread or anything. I hope that if I EVER get to the point where I cant get out of the house that someone will go to the store for me, although I "might" have enough fabric to last me forever! LOL. I wish my sister would get a hobby of anykind. She is a widow, 68 had ceberal palsey when a child but still can function with her left hand and partically her right but she wont get a computer, wont sew, wont paint, nothing... she takes a walk twice a day, goes to church on Sundays when she can drive but other than that nothing.....Id be crazy...
You inspire me for sure! SO glad you found our little boom group to join..I love just reading the crazy chatter back and forth and knowing if I need quilting help all I have to do is ask...This is about the 10th boom Ive been in..NOT because I need the blocks but because I love these ladies!! They are "friends" and make me laugh or cry...
