Question on your age
#716
60. I've been quilting about 8 - 9 years. I started sewing when I was about 15. Made a lot of my own clothes, because I'm very tall. Didn't do much sewing in my 30's and 40's. I dragged my Singer Genie out about 10 years ago to make some skirts for myself & my husband said it was awfully noisy and maybe I should get a new machine. Shortly after that, I discovered quilting. He blames himself for my addiction:) Sewing has always been a constant in my life, just taken a different turn now. Quilting is not very forgiving, whereas when you are sewing yourself a skirt or pants or whatever, if your seam is not exactly 5/8's, it usually doesn't make much of a difference in the finished garment.
