I got hooked about quilts when my mother was alive and quilting. She passed away and I have all her quilts. I started quilting myself after she was gone about 4 years. I was home sick from work and was channel surfing and ran across the "Quilt in A Day" TV show. Got the biggest kick out of Eleanor Burns.."Step on the Gas"! Bought her "Trip Around The World" book and it's history from there. I did put quilting away for a few years because we added a bed to my sewing room and I just couldn't sew.. Had no room to move. Last year I told my DH that I wanted to get back into it again. We cleaned the room out, moved things around and I've made 6 quilts, have 2 tops completed and I'm working on a King Size QAYG wedding present for my Bosses daughter. (That's almost done.)
