I come from a long line of quilters...my great great grandmother had neighbors who would give her scraps and she would piece quilt tops. My grandmother did many quilts and I can remember the quilt frame she had set up when I was a kid. Mom always liked to sew but really didnt start quilting til she retired. She got my teenager daughter interested. I never liked to sew, thought it was a tedious job. Then I received an email link to a quilting site and I checked out and was soon bitten by the bug. It's truly a family tradition!
