I am 54 years old. I used to make Barbie doll clothes as a child with my grandmother. My mother made all of my clothes (we were poor and she knew how to sew very well). She taught me how to embroider, sew, crotchet with wool and thread on handerchiefs, etc. I used to make most of my own clothes then discovered the "love of quilting" seriously about 10 years ago. Now I just can't get enough. I have enough fabric to open a store, and yet I feel I need more. Do I have a sickness? No, just a passion for quilting. Am I good at it? I'm OK. Some good...some so so, some BAD. I keep looking for new and different challenges and techniques. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless you all and remember, everyone wants a Quilt. Sophie (Zaza)
