What memories your posting dug up. At age 10 I started sewing in 4-H. That was 60 years ago. I took Home-Ec and improved my skills. It all came in handy when our kids were growing up, money was tight, but fabric was cheap. I made most of their clothes and mine.
Grandma taught me to crochet and knit at age 5. Cross-stitch enter the program 40 years ago and I started quilting 11 years ago. I managed to work in the middle of all that, but love being retired. DH (of 53 years) is very supportive and is a great color coordinator.
this board had been such a joy.
