1976, I had a new baby and a 3 yr. old. We moved to a very small town and lived a couple doors down from the library. I was soooooo bored and had always been crafty, so I decided to make my new baby a quilt. I went to the library and checked out a book and decided to make a Sunbonnet Sue quilt. Not having much $$ I used some awful fabric I had and did it all wrong. I remember that I quilted on top of the applique! Anyway, my daughter cherished the ugly thing but lost it last year in a fire when the family house burned down. I have given her a couple quilts over the years and I offered to replace that one but she says there is no replacement as it was the first quilt for both of us.
Been quilting on and off since then, but mostly off and just started back last November. Was so surprised and pleased at the new pre-cuts! I am back at with a passion now!! Thanks for asking Craftybear...what's your story?
