I have loved quilts for as long as I can remember (which is when I was 2 yrs old. My grandmother & aunt made quilts & my mom & other aunts all had quilts on the beds, couches, etc. I always knew I would make quilts someday & started my stash, which was added to from scraps my aunts & grandmother sent me. Stored them in a trunk for years til I finally had time to quilt. I had 4 children in 5 yrs & needless to say didn't have time or energy to quilt til they were older. I would periodically pull out my stash & look through it & dream. I'm now retired & can quilt as much as I like, & I'm loving it!
