69 years ago when I was 7, Mother turned me loose with scraps of fabric and her new electric Singer. I made a doll quilt, but was so disappointed when the seams didn't match and turned to making other items, like clothes. 50 years later, my DIL pusned me into making 2 Trip-around-the-world quilts for my grandsons and I've been quilting since. I've done many crafts and hobbies and quilting is the only one I've never grown bored with. I bless Lori over and over for the boost into quilting!
