I think she has checked at least 3 or 4 volume of the “Foxfire” series. She has alot of books with titles like “Civil War” recipes. She likes to knit and wants to learn how to quilt. We all appreciate her uniqueness.
wants to learn to quilt
There are alot of quilters out there, guys as well as gals. downright practical—home made quilts are warmer than store-bought—terrific artistic outlet in the design of and colors used- great stress reliever—fun—and I could go on. Knowing how to bypass being dependent is not bad. Being able to care for yourself without the gubmint to do it for you is not bad. Learning canning and gardening and such things are not bad. Case in point- eat a home grown heriloom tomato compared to a store bought shipped from how far with what pesticides used on it tomato - no comparison.
One does not have to be a wacko to enjoy skills our grandparents lived by.
