I started quilting about two and a half years ago. My sister and I started together, but she lost interest. Three years ago my kids would have been shocked if I went to the fabric store, but now they want to go with me to see if there is any fabric they can find for the next quilt I can make them. I have started my DGD sewing and she has her own Sew Mini machine. (Just like grandmas ) Now a days if I have a day off the kids first question is "did you get to sew today mom". They know if I have sewed I am happier.
