I am inspired in this thought today because my stepmom sent me an email that has the link to her quilt top photos. Shes's gotten quite good at piecing these things, and I want to brag on her: http://community.webshots.com/user/loco1ntx

Here is mine and AbsoluteGrace's knitting experience thus far... Still haven't mastered the cast on thing.... The needles just WON'T cooperate.

We have decided though that the machines we had when we were kids were orange and yellow.

I quilted for about 10 years. Last year I decided to quit because I hadn't really done anything for a couple of years. So I gave away all of my fabric. I did keep the cutting mats, rulers, rotary cutters, etc. I still sew though, just house stuff like decorative pillows, etc.
