I was more of a sewer than quilter for many yrs. Then in the 80's I found an old quilt rack in my basement. My mother-in-law told me what it was and we went to a sheep farm north of me and bought a bunch of wool had it cleaned/carded (at that time I was spinning) sized into twin size bedding(covered with cheese cloth) .My mother-in-law got a bunch of her friends together and we tied 6 quilts. That was fun.My first pieced quilt was a queen size sampler in the 90's.I have not looked back.I quilt for myself/sister-in-law/ friends who place orders for memory quilts and much more.
