Nearly fifty years ago, when my only daughter was young, I made her a butterfly quilt with the help of my mother in law. That quilt is long gone, and it was probably 25 years later before I took the time and money to make another. I had 4 children & made most of their clothes an my own, so I was busy. Also worked out doing commercial sewing (boating and auto). Have been quilting again for about 20 years and love it more than ever. I think everyone in my family has at least one of my quilts now. I can't stop making them though and I love this board. I'm here every day.
