For years my Mother could not understand why I didn't quilt. I remember my grandmother's back bedroom that had the hooks for hanging quilting frames. She made many quilts and thankfully I still have a few.
My Mother also made a few quilts, but did not have the time to make a lot since she worked and raised 2 children.
But when I moved to Texas in 1992, I was bitten by the quilting bug and have quilted ever since. I LOVE fabric. And I love the process of taking these fabrics and creating something lasting and beautiful.
Have also met some wonderful friends since my LQS opened a few years ago.
