I learned to sew in a home ec class in high school. I did a lot of sewing, knitting, cross stitching, etc. over the years. Awhile back my mother gave me a quilt top that my great-grandmother had hand pieced back in the day. The fabric was starting to rot, and I knew I had to preserve it, so I took a quilting class at a local high school and hand quilted the top. I have been quilting on and off since them. I am now quilting almost every day, and enter our County Fair every year. It is so relaxing and fills my days.....
