It started for me about 9 years ago, I had been an avid scrapbooker and one day while buying supplies I walked over to the fabric and it just called out to me. I took a class in hand quilting at LQS and the rest is now an addiction. Most of the quilts I have made have been given as baby gifts and to friends and relatives. I now have more reasons to make more quilts, I have a 4 year old grandson who loves everything I make and I just retired at the end of March so now I have time to do what I love. :-P
