I have always sewn from an early age having learned from my Mum making dolls clothes etc, I began making my own clothes as a teenager, when I got married I designed and made my own wedding gown and things for my home, I have always admired quilts especially the old traditional American quilts, scrap and country styles. I am retired now but most of my working life has been in fabrics and I always knew that when I had more time I wanted to learn to quilt. I began with a series of classes first in hand piecing then in applique to learn the skills, I taught myself hand quilting and now I am about to have a go at machine quilting. I have only been quilting seriously as a hobby for about a year I guess, needless to say I do not make my own clothes any more I am too busy making quilts Lol!!
