Thank you Candi for sharing your Quilting Odyssey with us! I used to shop Lee Wards stores. The one I frequented most was offering a beginning quilting class and I signed up. There were several of us who were taught by a first grade teacher who had just begun a guild! I went to that and was fascinated by all the pretties! I was hooked! And this was in the late 80s when most everything was pink or blue calico with the same value! My, how times have changed!
