I learned how to tie my shoes under a quilt frame. It was all I ever slept under until the 80's. All I had were worn out. I started to get the bug then. In the 90's I got 3 quilt tops that were my Grandmothers. I hand quilted them. Now there is no stopping me. I have done quilts from beginning to end. Restored old quilts, hand quilted a couple of old tops for friends, and the list goes on. I love it!:)
