I was very late in entering the wonderful world of sewing, crocheting, beading, cross stitch; but now I love everything except knitting. Just never got the hang of it. When my son was born, I was 28, see I was old, and had my grandmother's treadle sewing machine which worked like a dream. After my DH saw all the things I was making he bought me a new Singer that I used for the next thirty years. Now I have a Pfaff, which a I love. I tried quilting when I first started sewing, but thought I wasn't very good at it. After retiring ten years ago I started back at all the terrific crafts there are; hands down quilting is the most satisfying for me. So you are never to old to learn new things and funny thing happened, as I got older I got smarter which has helped immensely.
