Ages
#272
i'm seventy now, but fifty years ago i made a baby quilt for my first with the help of my elderly neighbors and then hand pieced a granma's garden, 70 by 8o inches that was much more than i should have attempted, for i didn't quilt again until a few years ago.

A couple of people have suggested that maybe your husband wanted you to spend more time with him. So think of it like this, if he had a hobby that comsumed all his time would you like it?
We never know how long we have on this old earth, and what is more important then our time with each other.
(Other than quilting :) :D )

I made my first quilt at age 32 - 38 years ago! My DGD did her first (probably her last!) handquilting stitches on a quilt that I made for her about 6 years ago. I included her on the label as co-quilter. She's artistic - but in photography. I tried to pass it on ~ ~ ~
