I was living in Lancaster, PA in 1970. An Amish lady was offering free quilting lessons. I was long on time and short on money in those days so I took advantage of the offer. I learned to hand applique before I learned to piece. After that class, I was hooked!! My first block was the Lancaster Rose which I made into a tote bag for my library books...quilting of course... :lol: :lol: . It finally gave up the ghost in the late 90's!!
One of several Lancaster Rose quilts I've made since that class in 1970
