QuiltingI always associated a sewing machine with older women. I thought that the only people who took the time to make something were those who had been doing it for years and didn't have anything better to do. I asked for a sewing machine for my birthday because I needed to be able to fix the clothes we had. Then, one day I was asked to bring my sewing machine to a church humanitarian social. There I learned that it is actually fun to sew things! Especially when you know that you are doing a service to someone else who really needs it.
We started with dolls and T-shirts, and this past month we moved on to quilts. I was asked if I could take home the squares to a quilt top and sew it together. I was so scared! The ladies gave me detailed instructions on how to complete the project, and I found myself actually enjoying the process!
I have now made a quilt for both of my girls, and I am working on one for my Husband's birthday. I am having a really good time with a new pastime that I never would have considered when I was younger. Perhaps getting a little older myself has made me realize that those "older women" who sew... they are not so different from myself, and I have a lot of wasted time to catch up on!
