I was around 3 when I was first exposed to fabric scraps. My great grandmother was a quilter. I first played in her scraps. I told her I wanted to make a quilt. She said you need to be older so you can reach the treadle machine pedal. I was around 9 when she began to teach me. I do not recall if I only made blocks or made a doll quilt. She died when I was 15 so no more quilt making for me.
I took it up again when I met my best friend and she wanted to have a baby. I made her a quilt for good luck. I have been back to quiltting on a steady basis around 11 years. I have more UFO"s :oops: :roll: that finished quilts. I still have not completed my favorite one. :oops: :oops:
