I've been quilting for as long as I can remember-think I did my first one in the 70's and like it so much I just kept on and on and on, I come from a long line of quilters my mom, my grandma, and my late mother-in-law all creators of hand quilting, I'd like a long arm some day but like the workmanship of the hand quilted designs-with all the love that is stitched in to a quilt-you beet that for anything in the world.
