I started quilting in 1974, making the first quilt I gave away for a close friend of mine I worked with, who was having her first baby. After that, quilts were my "go to" for gifts....and I really needed something inexpensive to give as I had a staff of 50 shortly after that and at times it seemed as if they were challenging each other to see who could keep me the busiest. Many years later, I have made over 700 quilts and have given most of them away. And yes, I have had a ribbon or two in there as well....but I have most enjoyed doing what I wanted to do, with no one but me telling me what was right and/or wrong about them!
Improvements? YES! Differences? YES! Still fun after all these years? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
