Please don't feel sorry for me !!!!
I had 8 syblings an we lived in a two bedroom house ..We were so poor. WE only had coats that were donated to us from the church we attended ..I had a very loving family also..I didi'nt start sewing till we became empty nesters. I watch a Alex Anderson Show way back when it was free to watch her on TV. I never sewed before I got married in 1971.I flunked home economics because my mother took things apart and said this is wrong .....My Mother made clothes for us and others .We were not aloud to touch her machine .I did baby gowns for our babies .But after our three children left home . I got the empty nester syndrome and I decided my children and grand children will never go without a warm quilt .. Ive been quilting now for about 4 or 5 years .Our familys all have a quilt .And I will never forget the first time I slept under one ..It was the warmest feeling ,Like I found a home ..And i will quilt till the day I Die.Im not good ,But i make and i enjoy the warmth it gives me when I finish one .
