I've always sewn. For a few years while I was eating breakfast before work I watched Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson thinking, that looks like fun and gave it no other thought. Then I retired and one son said "Oh Good, now you can make me a quilt". WHat???? I don't quilt! He didn't even know I watched the show. He said, you can learn. So I took a class and made him the quiilt and the rest is history.
