Gee, I am in awe of everyone sewing abilities!
Not sure how much I actually sew or quilt! I do remember my first sewing experience was on an old treadle sewing machine, when I was 15. All I had was a pattern for Barbie doll clothes and just used whatever fabric I had available. It was summer and I had to entertain myself somehow. So I made Barbie doll clothes, I laugh now because I realize I didn't even have a barbie doll. My mom had passed away a yr prior, but I remember her sewing my clothes when I was young. All grown up and years flew by, I now make baby items as often as I can. Sleepers, hooded bath towels, receiving blankets, burp cloths, blankets, etc. I do my own mending, hemming etc. I do my own alterations, I like to make small craft projects when the notion hits me. Not just strickly a quilter. I think I am half seemstress and half quilter.
