Fascinating, all the quilters on here! I have been quilting since my daughter was a baby, 30 years now. I used to sell double wedding ring quilts through an Amish store in Dover. Wish I had them back now. I thought my quilting days were over but I set the frame up last year and have been able to do it, although it has taken me a year to finish this Christmas bed quilt for my husband. I am determined to make as many as I can for the kids before I lose it for good. So far crocheting is the only thing I have had to give up, but everything else goes much more slowly as I fumble a lot.

It sure helps me forget the aches and pains, even though it makes me a little sore if I stay at the frame or sewing machine too long.
