Been sewing since I was in my late teens. Made my first quilt sometime in the late '60s. It was 5" squares, an old, thin blanket for batting and a sheet for backing. This is how my great-grandmother made them. Quilts were not for show then, but meant to be useful.
After raising a family and retiring from a 30 year job, I started making quilts again 10 yrs ago. I am 64.,
