I started quilting because I wanted one for my own bed and didn't like the Walmart cheater quilts. I saw in my head what I wanted and didn't see how quilting could be any more difficult than making clothing for my family had been back in the day when it was cheaper to make clothing than buy it. Little did I realize about the tiny seam allowances and bazillion patches needed to make a king size quilt but I'm stubborn and darn it! I wanted that quilt I could see in my mind on my bed! Grandbabies and great nieces & nephews started popping out so that gave me another excuse to make quilts instead of sending diapers. I like to dream that many of the quilts I've made will outlive me so there will still be reminders of me & my love when I'm gone.
