Hi. My inspiration came from my Grandmother. She could barely read or write but she made the greatest quilts. Taught me to cut my blocks and hand sew them. Made my first double sized quilt ar age 10. It was a Bow tye made from flour sacks. I am 73 now so I have no idea how many I have made. She asked me to always teach others to quilt. It has been a lifetime of shareing her love of quilting with others. I reallly love teaching children to quilt.The youngest has been a couple of 5 year olds. Quilting knows no deference to age or gender..Marvel
