In 1992, I was working part time in Joanns and saw a book on how to make a Lone Star quilt. I loved the pattern, so I bought the book and required fabrics. I had been sewing garments all my life, so I figured the quilt couldn't be all that difficult for me to make. My head was a lot clearer back then so I was able to make the top by following the instructions. Then it got tricky. I had no frame of reference for the actual method of quilting. My sister's neighbor was a long time quilter, so she coached me along until I got the hang of it. I loved quilting (hand) and planned to make more, but got involved creating stained glass art for several years. Then I found out about the classes at my LQS, went to the first one about a year ago, met some wonderful and fun women, and fell in love with fabrics and quilting all over again.
