I too hope I can still stitch at 87. My mom is 89 and can only really knit a little bit because she can no longer pick up a needle. My aunt used to do beautiful embroidery. I have done a little but I am still a novice at it. I prefer cross-stitch, crochet and quilting. Enjoy your stitching and do your homework!

I love embroidery but, it seems that time forces us to choose, and I choose quilting, but looking at this beautiful work sort of has me wishing I'd stayed with it.
