My mother corrupted me when I was nine and starting 4-H. It was just an older straight line sewing machine, but I gave her a work out! I've sewn ever since, making a variety of things from quilts, bags, a wedding dress for DD, pillowcases and even a cover for a huge pool table! I love to sew and DH spoils me with new little toys every once in a while. I have four daughters and one sews for a living, one sews when she has to, one is just getting into quilting, and one who doesn't know how to thread a machine! They all love what I can do, but have no idea how. Oh well.....there is hope for one....LOL.
