My sister and I both sew. She taught me when I was 11. After the death of my first husband she asked me if I ever thought about quilting. I had gotten several books but not ever tried it. She told me about a quilt retreat sponsored by her church women's group. I went and haven't missed one since then. That was 16 years ago and yes I owe my addiction to her. We both agree we will never be cured. To start a 12 step program you first have to admit you have a problem.. what problem I don't see any problem. lol. :D
