My friend quilted. When we lived in IA. I didn't have the time for her to teach me. We moved to FL., and we would talk on the phone with her explaining how I should be doing it. Then when I'd visit her she would tell me if I followed her directions like she told me. We had a lot of laughs over my quilts. When I make my quilts I think of her, and how much fun it was, sadly she has passed away.
