My DGM gave me a quilt top when I was 20 something. She said, "I don't want to quilt, but my Mum put this together and maybe someday you would want to quilt it." I put it in a large Macy's bag and dragged it from house to house. Eight years ago, saw a sign on church "Tuesday morning ladies quilt mtg..all welcome" Dropped by and they showed me how to rock a needle, around a big frame. They told me to buy a sheet for the back and I did. It took me almost two years to get it done, but I thought if she could make all those tiny stitches to piece it, I could hand quilt it!! Lone quilted for the next six years and made 40 quilts.
