I have been sewing since I was about 13 years old. I learned out of necessity because I was already almost 6' tall by then. At 14, I really was 6' tall so it was nearly impossible for me to purchase pants in a store that didn't have those awful cuffs on them to let down. Now that I'm 60-something, the gkids no longer wear Grammie's home made things so I started watching EB, F&P, Sewing with Nancy, Martha Pullen, anything I can to learn what I can about designing and making quilts. I live in Northern KY now so might just have to take a trip to Paducah one of these days!
