All my young life my mom and grandmother quilted. I started sewing at nine years old and never stopped. I have always loved color and loved to create. I have a degree in interior design and a teachers certificate in Japanese flower arranging. I love to paint and do most crafts. My DM really started doing a lot of quilting when my DF died and she retired from nursing. As I saw all the lovely quilts she was making I just had to make my own and have never stopped. When I first started our choices of fabric was not very great but as the years passed and quilting became more popular the fabric was so much better and now we have so many beautiful choices. I don't know how many years more I will be able to quilt but I will keep going as long as I can.
