Good questions!!!!
Who taught you how to quilt? No one. I came from a family of quilters (Grandmother, Mother, Aunt and then MIL) but hubby was in the military so when I became interested in quilting I learned by doing.

What pattern was the first quilt you made? Can't remember! I know I made several baby quilts but can't recall the pattern.

Do you still have your 1st quilt? No, I don't have any actual quilts I've made. I have wall hangings and small table toppers, but all the large quilts I have done have been given to others.

Which of your quilts is your favorite and why? I admire intricate quilts but don't have the patience to do one. Right now, because I do enjoy doing charity quilts I prefer simple patterns that go together quickly.

What do you do with the quilts you make? Currently I am making 4 quilts (4 double and 1 queen) for my neighbor. I am just finished two Quilts for Kids and am doing charity quilts for my guild.

What is the oldest quilt in your collection? I have a double wedding ring quilt that my mother made before she was married. That would make the quilt 65+ yrs old.

Do you belong to a guild, or attend workshops? Yes, I belong to a local guild. I rarely attend workshops but have been on several quilt retreats and LOVE those!

Have you ever entered a quilt in a quilt-show or fair? I have only put one quilt in a show sponsored by our guild - it was not judged - simply viewed by others!

Have you encouraged others to try quilting? Yes, I have a good friend that I have mentored in quilting, as well as one DIL.

Why do you quilt?
