 I think most of us have seen them, beautifully colored squares of fabric, sewn together by hand into various patterns, transforming into a magnificent homemade quilt. My grandmother made one for me, old pajamas that she had cut up and sewed into a lovely quilt. My church has a quilting club, and each year their friendly ladies put on their hard work on display and sell them at our church festival. Making these fine works of arts seemed like the perfect hobby for older women with lots of time on their hands.
