I started sewing doll cloths when I was little. Then advanced to making all my school cloths & went on to making all my kids cloths. My girls didn't get their first bought dress till they were twelve. Once all the kids were away from home, I had a heart attack. I wasn't able to do hardly anything for such a long time I really felt useless. Then I heard about the Linus project quilting for kids. That gave me a reason to go on & I started my quilting adventure & haven't stopped. I truly feel this is what saved my life.
