I think I have loved the feel of fabric in my hands since I was born! I taught myself to sew, then in High School took all the Home Ec. classes that were available. Even now I'm a sucker for sewing machines and fabric, and still love the feeling I get when surrounded by bolts, fat quarters, thread, scraps, etc. If there's a quilt class going on, I'll probably be there. I think it's all a learning experience, and I certainly don't know it all yet...........and never will!
