Papa, you simply crack me up! Love your sense of humor! And the fact that you enjoy sewing,as well. Taught our son the basics on sewing, cooking cleaning. Knew he'd need it, at the time he was embarrassed, today he's pretty proud of it! Country folks I think have more capabilities, better humor, and a more healthy outlook as a result, on life in general! Thanks for making me laugh today!!! What a great gift! Kind Regards, Carrie
Thank you for the nice message. I grew up in the wilds of northwest Arkansas and lived far from neighbors most of the time. To pass the time, my grandmother taught me to knit and crochet. I would go with her to quilting bees and watch the ladies quilt. I did not take up sewing until much later in life but have always enjoyed working with my hands. My uncle was the sewer in his family too. He made all the clothes he and his wife wore square dancing. It is not easy for us elderly single white hillbilly males to go fabric shopping but I do it anyway. Thank you again for my first pm on the forums.
Hi Papa You sound like a riot. I was wondering how you became interested in quilting? My father was always the sewer in our house. Happy sewing Joan
