My mom won a holiday shopping spree at a local strip mall. She won $1000 worth of gift certificates from 28 stores! Among the many she gave me was the free class at the quilt store. That was December 2003, took the class in February 04. I owned a sewing machine, but only had used it very infrequently. Not like all you who sewed for years before quilting came.
I have entered a few quilted wall hangings in the local county fairs and got a few ribbons! That's fun.
I tell people that free class has cost me lots of money! :lol:
