I took Home Ec. in school and made an apron. My mom made all my clothes and was a hugh influnce on me, she helped me alot. She always told me to be patient and do a good job. I always had a love for quilts and about 15 years ago took my first quilt class at Quilts by the Bay in Galveston. Loved every minute of it and have been learning and loving it ever since. The hardest part for me is the patience part.
