Could sew & embroider by the time I was 12 and grew up watching my DM and DGM Quilt. DGM hand pieced & Hand quilted. DM hand quilts & does embroidery; she doesn't piece.
7 or 8 yrs ago my 2n'd DS went to WalMart with DH and I. I stoped to drool over the material. DS was about 9 or 10 at the time. He found some solar system "cheater panel" & was so excited. DH asked if I could make a lap quilt out of it.
"Of course I can" Where did that come from?
The next thing I knew I had a sandwich and was hand quilting one stitch at a time.
Ive been Hand quilting ever since.
