it was just another craft I had to master
As a teenager I worked in local store, they sold fabric crafts, linens,etc.
i bought teach yourself books and learned to crochet and knit. Tried tatting but could never "get it" from a book. I then learned to sew and have mastered Tole painting and x stitch & jewellery making. I have to try everything - it is in my blood
My Mother was a self taught sewer who could make anything including my $30 wedding dress - which was awesome !!
She suggested I take a beginners sewing class, so I did and I have been sewing since. Clothing, curtains or whatever I needed. Then a few years back I decided to try my hand at quilting. I have probably made 30-40 quilts and given most away. Unfortunately, I just recently started to take photos.
So I don't keep running on - I guess my Mother was my inspiration - in fact she was my best friend and inspiration to do anything I choose to do!! She was the most loving, talented, smart amazing woman I knew and know!!! My goal in life is to half the woman she was.
