I made my first dress at age of 12 years as a 4-H member and progressed over the years to making draperies, coats, bathing suits, etc. and even sports blazers/slacks for my husband. I made my first quilt on my own when I was 15 - no quiters in my family, smile. More than 15 years later, I did a quilt top. Finally, at the age of 58, I took my first quilting class after we moved to CO from OH! Now I do only quilting, no more clothes
! I consider each quilt as a rehearsal for the next quilt, lol. I am getting better and better; I am enjoying every step of my progress.
Enjoy your new found interest in quilting!
