My wife is a quilter. She is also a water color painter. She makes regular (these days) quilts, and a something called art quilts – basically paint by number with cloth, very cool. BUT, she started out like the rest of the comments mentioned, sewing straight lines and so so quilts. Like anything else, if you want to get good at something, there are two rules. 1. do it everyday, a little or a lot. 2. be willing to be terrible at it in the beginning. And yes, it does take over a room (and most flat surfaces in the house). My wife is now, very good at it after 5 years. But the comics are wonderful. Please, Gary and Gerry, keep them coming.
Laughed out loud – And I agree, the ELP version is great.
