I think this is great! Quilting is a great way to pass the time. Several years ago, in my local guild, my secret quilter pal was a man. He wasn't a trucker, but did travel a lot with his job, finding himself with lots of free time in strange cities. So, he had his mother teach him to hand-piece and hand-quilt. He turned out some of the most beautiful work. And he was a great quilter pal, too. I got lots of interesting fabrics, tools, and notions that he picked up on his travels.
