I'm 56, I hated sewing when I was young, but, as I got older, and my daughter asked me if I would make a blanket, and curtains for a girl. I look at things I like and go home and make them. I made a blanket, curtains and a hanging diaper bag with no pattern. I got hooked on sewing. About a year later I got into quilts and I have made a few. Right now I am tying a queen sized bargello quilt for my niece. I have a list of family members to make quilts for. No rush times. My own pace, which is slow, but, I am enjoying what I do. Just take one day at a time and enjoy your work and have fun doing your quilts. You will see them coming together a little quicker
