I just wanted to learn to sew. I had bought a sewing machine that sat in the box for four years. Saw a class offered to make a sampler quilt, and learned how fun it is, and how nice quilters are. The sampler quilt is hanging over my bed, and I've made four other wall hangings and a full size pieced quilt since. I have material for two more -- but I'm back to trying to learn to sew clothes.
