My 17-year-old son has a new girlfriend, not something unusual, but
this one seems to be more important than the previous ones. He brought
her home very quickly to meet us and has been to meet her folks. And,
he told me very early on "Mom, you're going to love this. She is
interested in fabric and quilting." So she is. Today she spent a lot
of the day here, a good bit of it finishing a little simple quilt she
has made for her younger brother. She's teaching herself to quilt and
buys her own fabric and materials. I showed her how to mark lines for
quilting straight lines and how to make and put on a simple binding.
I can't begin to tell you how fun it was to have a girl to play with.
We had such a good time. I gave her a couple of quilting magazines and
told her I'll be glad to help her anytime.
What a hoot. I hope the women my sons settle down with for marriage
like "fabric and quilting." It would be so fun.
Sunny

Yes, that does sound like fun! You must have had a great time, and what a
fun way to get acquainted!

...that sounds like so much fun, Sunny. Maybe your son will let her
come over and play again soon!

That sounds great Sunny, a lot of fun. I'm trying to encourage a friend at
work who is 'looking for a hobby' to come and play one weekend. It sounds
like you son thinks a lot of this girl if they're already met each others'
families.

Having 5 boys and 1 girl who lives in Oregon, I too yearn for a female to
pass along all my needle skills. I also knit, crochet, needlepoint,
bargello, make rugs and other assorted stuff.
