I always wanted to quilt since my grandmother did when I was a small child. She died when I was 8 and I never got a chance to learn. I sewed dance costumes for my 3 daughters when they were young. Still thinking someday when I retire I will quilt. About 2 1/2 years ago, I quit my job and needed something to do. My daughter said she would like to see me take a quilting class and make my grandson a t-shirt quilt of his baseball teams. I have made 2 other quilts and have many in progress. I am waiting for a few more t-shirts from Tyler to make him a quilt. Tyler is 14 1/2 now. Another work in progress. Quilting has helped me tremendously after losing my sister to cancer at 67 yrs Feb.08 and my mother at 91 yrs back in April 2010. I took care of my mother when she broke her hip and she died 6 months after from her breast cancer that had returned and spread to other organs. She died very peacefully Thank God and fast. I love......... to quilt.
