Love of sewing....
I first started sewing when I was 5 years old, simple needle and thread. Then learned to sew on my mothers little Singer Featherweight machine. Made my own clothes, then for both my sons and all my nieces..... I love the concept of quilts and have been sewing/pieceing and quilting for well over 40 years. Quilts, unlike clothes, can last forever. They are history from the person who sewed it to the person who receives it....After my husband passed away, I kept some of his shirts and made a quilt for each grandchild, and included in the quilt a photo of them with their grandpa....now that quilt might now be in a closet somewhere, but I have the satisfaction of knowing I made it and gave those kids a memory for life....I also sew for the Linus Project, a local homeless shelter and our local military hospital, passing onto them my love of fabric, design and hopfully bringing them a little joy. What more can be said about this fantastic passion.
