  1. Oh, I hope I can still make quilts when I am 91.

  2. Karen, so do I, a few of the ladies in my quilting group are well over 80 and their output puts me to shame. As a new quilter I have not yet gotten to the stage where I have more than one project on the go but I can see how it happens - I am most anxious to finish my current piece so that I can get going on using blocks my group did for me in our block exchange.

  3. Hi. I stumbled across your blog (love it) as I was preparing for a quick visit to Amsterdam next week and am looking for local places to buy local fabric. Can you recommend any local places?
