I learned to sew from "maman", my aunt whom I call mother in French. She was a seamstress and showed me a few things. Well 2 years ago she got lung cancer and through a friend I got the name of a group who make quilts for people with cancer. I requested one for her and she has it with her all the time, the treatments can make you feel a chill easily. I was so moved by the situation that I decided to join the group. I'm still learning but I can 'sandwich' with the best of them.
