My sewing life has had many chapters and I find a new challenge adds interest to that hobby. I started sewing when my mother gave me a stamped cross stitched pattern for a squirrel on a doll bunting. I kept running out of brown floss so that squirrel was multi-colored brown by the time I finished. I made my first quilt in the late 1960's and dreamed over the years that I might have time for more quilting. I'm there. I joined a church quilting group and a guild so am learning lots and immensely enjoying making quilted projects for charity and for my friends and family.
