This is a new pastime of mine, but in taking up my quilting needle, I am following in the footsteps of many of my grandmothers. Quilting is so soothing. When I am working on the big frame, I feel like a pianist whose hands move across the keys, back and forth, at different tempos. Like these women, I don’t get much time to quilt until after Christmas. Since I spend most of my days on the computer as an online instructor, I certainly relish the time that I spend without technology. Machine quilting is not for me! When the ground thaws and the flora begins to come to life, I am back outside, like Lura, working in my gardens. I love being an Appalachian woman!
