Quilting specifically, only a year this july. But I've never been a stranger to a sewing machine or plain old needle n thread. My mom and mil got me started quilting. Mom has a quilt that has sat half quilted for 3 years and it drives me nuts! It;s so beautiful but can't be used since its still in progress *not that any has been made in awhile. So I started hoping to encourage her but it didn't work lol. So now I go with my mil Sunday afternoons and her bff and us quilt for about 5 hrs. I am addicted beyond repair and I love it!
