I fell in love with the "quilting" on quilts. Always looked at the quilting. A couple of years ago a friend started to teach me every thing she knows. Every Monday at a friends house she walked us through piecing a top. It is now my drug of choice. Quilting can calm me soo much. Go to a quilt camp in Rockaway Or. in the fall and a quilt retreat on the Mckenzie River Or in Jan. My dd has started too. She is a busy mom of two and she has made more quilts than me. When I am not sewing tops, I sit with dh and hand quilt some of my tops. Soooooooooooo much fun.
