My Mom and Grandma made quilts while I was growing up as well as my grandma's sisters (even my grandpa would help every now and then). They were always so beautiful. I always wanted to make them too, but never had the confidence. I would watch every quilting show on tv and collect every pattern that I liked and even bought fabric just becausde. But, I now have a husband that has enough confidence in me for both of us and then some. I made 12 quillows as presents for Christmas 2010 , then I had the confidence to try to make a real quilt. I made a Sunbonnet Sue for our granddaughter that was born in Jan. Now I'm hooked, which is good because all the kids and grands want thier own quilt. My oldest DGS is almost 9 and I think he is ready to start making a quilt. He told me the other day "Nana there is no such thing as to much cloth!" I always knew he was smart!!
