I've always enjoyed trying to master something new (not that I'm a master at anything yet). I learned to crochet and embroider as a small child and then kind of stopped everything when I got old enough to be interested in boys. OMG, if there were only do overs, hahaha. Anyway, when my daughter was born my husband surprised me with a used Monkey Ward sewing machine, straight stitch only but that lit the fire. I started making clothes for my daughter, Ginger, and never stopped. So, I started making garments and still make all my husbands shirts and some things for my great grandkids. Mostly, I make quilt tops and now I have a friend who has taken up piecing also and do we ever terrorize the fabric stores (and you do have to watch them cut and check you out) I also love to make preemie quilts and donate them to the NICU for all those little babies.
