In my 7th grade home ec class, putting in a zipper was a big deal. Sewing on a zipper required a special presser foot and a whole lot of courage.

Someone once asked me why I loved scrap quilts. My answer was kind of silly... but it was also true. Not one of us is one "thing". We're daughters and sons, parents and spouses, friends and co-workers. We're painters and stitchers, bakers and builders, and so on.
