I guess I'll add my story. My Mom was a very talented
needleworker. She made my clothes and my brothers, as well as all our sweaters. I think she really wanted me to learn. I'd organize sewing groups with my friends and my Mom would teach them. I never finished a project. After my friends became interested, I'd quit. My Mom would help all the girls finish their projects - mine went unfinished, but I had learned all the basics! Years later, after I had married and was living out of the country I found the need to start sewing and other crafts and haven't stopped. My Mom is still amazed at the work I do. I guess a thank you is long over due to her and I'll do that when I finish this post. I started quilting in the sixties. I don't have any idea how many quilts I've made. I love working on baby quilts - I think it's because of the little bundles which the quilts warm. My latest quilting has been for Veterans hospitals and nursing homes. I do lap quilts for people in wheelchairs (13 quilts since Nov.) Also, I'm working on a kingsize quilt (first and maybe last). That's my story. -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |
