I have loved quilts since I was a child. I couldn't wait to get to the "Women's building" at the state fair to see them. As a teenager, I was so impressed by quilts my aunt was making. I was sewing things like curtains. My daughter wanted a canopy bed. I went to library and found a book on how to do that and stumbled on a quilt as you go book. I made them both. She loved the quilt and I loved quilting. I was hooked. I started watching every quilt show on tv. I wasn't self taught, I was taught by Elenor and Kaye.
I now quilt just because it makes me happy. I come home from a stressful day, and anything quilting takes that stress away.
