I started sewing when I was 22. While I worked at a custom drapery factory. I quit working in 1999 when I had my 3rd. child. That how I got sewing. No one in my family sews.
Moving forward. This last Christmas break I gave up my sewing room so my two girls could have there own room. Well my oldest daughter Tamar could not find any bedding she liked. She can to me and said that she thought I could make her a quilt. I have an older friend of mine that quilts ( she gave me one for my birthday). She let me borrow some books. I went out and bought the ruler because I had the other things i needed. Picked a pattern (rail fence). Tamar and I went fabric shopping. She wanted purple black and gray. It took me about a two weeks to finish it. Tamar was very happy with it. I have finished three more quilts and have four more in the works. Oh my avatar is picture of Tamar's quilt.
