I have sewed forever, took 4 years of home ec., 2 years of fashion design and 1 year of occupational sewing in high school. Mostly what i did was garment sewing but some crafty type stuff too. I have always been big into "old " stuff, heirlooms and that sort. I love anything historical. No one in my family that I knew quilted. My Grandma had a Double Wedding ring quilt that my Great Grandmother made and originally one of my Uncle's was to get the quilt when Grandma died. So I decided to try to replicate it and that is what got me started. I just found out recently that my Mom ended up with Great Grandma's quilt, so I will end up with it eventually!!! :D
