I quilt because quilts make me think of warmth and beauty. I didn't start sewing much less quilting until 2 years ago. With a Wal mart sewing machine and 1 beginner quilting class off I went. I now have a Brother 1500D and am quilting and embroidering away. All family and any friend that want one have one of my quilts. I also love making purses so I have many many different purses some very interesting. Ha Ha I am not a perfect quilter but I love it and sew at least 4=5 hours a day.
