New Old Man Quilting
 

Hello everyone and well after 40 years of watching my wife quilt I myself decided to try it, and to my surprise it's a lot of work but very relaxing, I myself was a Pro Fishing and Outdoor Guide that got hurt 4 years ago and spend a lot of time in a wheelchair and I can only stand for 5 min due to pain so I have a lot of time at home no more hunting and fishing I was told so here go's nothing.
First of all my wife said use my machine and I said ther is no way I will touch your machine well we have four so I used a older Brother she don't use anymore and started a 4 patch out of her scraps.
It has been a week and with wife helping me we just put the backing on and I will post pics later and at least I have tried so take care everyone and God Bless.

That is great that you took up this enjoying hobby. Good for your wife for teaching you. Have fun.

Hi CaptGreg!!! We need more men here!!! :)
I'm so happy that you are enjoying learning something new. Quilting for me is soooo relaxing. It cures whatever ails me.
Welcome!!

Howdy from Texas. I'm so glad you have found that you like quilting. I've tried to get my better half to try it but he just won't take the plunge. I can't wait to see your finished 4 patch quilt!

Welcome to the Board - yours was a different way to the hobby/passion of quilting, but it doesn't matter how you got here!

Welcome from Mississippi, CaptGreg :wave:. Glad you decided to try quilting. Hope you find it as relaxing and enjoyable as I do!

Welcome to the wonderful hobby of quilting! My husband watches me and tells me that men quilt too but he won't try it. I wish he would.

Welcome to your new hobby. Looking forward to see what you create.
