I got started so that my grandmother could pass the tradition on to someone before she dies. No one else in the family wanted to try it and I have always admired the quilts that she and my grandfather made. So she taught me. I enjoy doing it because it relaxes me after a stressful day and I get to be creative. I am rather good at sewing, and cooking, baking. But I also can mow the lawn and rake and fix lawnmowers. I have also worked with children since I was 14...so I am pretty good at changing diapers, fixing boo boos and calming a crying child.
