I am a self taught quilter - (I started out making clothes years ago) - My first quilt was a green log cabin and it was donated to science...I have taken a paper piecing class and worked part time at a quilt shop. I gave a couple to the food pantry for a raffle - and do others for family and some stay at home.. I sew to get away from computers and work it is my time... to meditate and enjoy life.
