My grandmother quilted...used a lot of the scraps from the clothing my mom made for me. Mom also quilted. I had the desire, but didn't really get started on quilting until about 9 years ago, when I visited my sister in Montana and she signed us up for a quilt class...and I didn't know BEANS about the craft! After I got back home, I signed up for the beginner's quilt class at our LQS, and later took the second class (a little more advanced) and the rest is history. I still don't have time to do as much quilting as I'd like, but I'm working on it!
