I'm retired also, but I have to do my housework in the morning otherwise it won't get done. I like to quilt when my jobs are done and I don't have to worry about anything. Since I found this quilting forum, I don't get as much quilting in, cause you wonderful people are so darn interesting and informative, I am addicted to you.I have found I spend more money on quilting because of all the techniques and toys you share. But I'm not complaining I am so much more complete. Thanks to all.
