I, too started sewing through 4-H and used to sew many of my own clothes plus clothes for my two children. My husband and I were square dancers so I made most of our outfits for that, too. As the years passed I became tired of trying to "fit" the patterns to me so went more and more into craft sewing. I think the main reason I became a quilter was because of our wonderful quilt store that we have here in my home town. I signed up for a sampler quilt class and have never looked back! Have never finished that particular sampler quilt but all of the blocks are completed and just need to put it all together one of these days.
