I thought I was going to have the oldest one because mine is from 1998 but then I saw that someone has something from 1979 so that makes me feel better. Mine is the very first quilt I ever made and at the time I hadn’t noticed that there was something wrong with my machine and the stitches were awful therefore I would have to pick out every single stitch! Now thinking about it maybe I will take it out and work on unpicking while I watch TV or something? We will see what happens.
