My sister taught me to quilt in 1992 and then we took classes together and went on retreats. We would go to her basement and I'd set up my sewing machine and we'd quilt for hours. We went shopping together also. I have such fond memories of this time we had together. She died in 2003 when she was only 53. Oh how I miss her. I am now an avid quilter because of her. I inherited most of her quilting supplies. Her daughter got her Bernina machine and all her beautiful quilt blocks. I sure wish she would learn to quilt and finish up those quilts. Maybe I'll ask her to mail me the blocks and finish them up for her. Sure wish I had my sister back badly.
