When my son was about 2, I decided to buy myself a sewing machine and teach myself how to quilt. I bought an inexpensive Singer model machine, and a sewing kit, ordered two pre-cut quilt kits, and got started. That was before the rotary cutter was invented!
I sewed quilts, stuffed animals, doll quilts, and such. The quilting bug bit hard, as I am still at it today! Love it!!
