My grandmother quilted, as I belive her mother and her mothers mother. I don't know if it goes farther back, but I do know that they sewed. My grandmother started quilting was she was 8 or 9 by hand. Pieced and quilted by hand. I had always admired the quilts she had made, because my family has some of them, but I had never really thought about doing any crafts. Then somebody moved that was in my church and we we offered all of this stuff. There were a lot of yarn, and a lot of fabric. I got about half a truckload(big tubs) for free and decided to learn how to do crafts. I couldn't get knitting or crocheting and I happened upon a quilting magazine. That was in, I fell in love with it about July or so, and finished my first quilt, which I posted in the pictures forum. I have been planing to start another quilt, maybe a four patch soon. I have issues with cutting correctly so who knows..
Sorry for being so long!
