quilting and stories

Over Christmas I read "The Persian Pickle Club" and ever since I've been noticing fabrics. I would love to make a quilt of my own, but alas, I do not even own a sewing machine. However, I do own a laminator and a binding machine, so I could write a story about quilting and then turn it into a book. I won't, though. That's not something I feel like writing. Anyway, the point is that I would like to make a quilt but as of now I do not have the resources. This post is to serve as a reminder of that goal so that I don't welch on it. In the words of my ever-loving husband, welching is for sissies and little girls.
