I made the mistake of saying "I will NEVER quilt!"
My Mom made a small crazy quilt when I was in high school and I thought she was nuts to do all that hand sewing, I crocheted and sewed my own clothes, but hand sewing was not for me. My Mother-In-Law was a phenomenal hand quilter and I admired her work, but knew it wasn't for me. Then one day, about 15 years ago, I checked out a Celia Eddy book on machine quilting from the library and I've been learning, quilting, and enjoying the process ever since then. Still can't paint with thread and I don't know if I will ever attempt a landscape quilt, but that was what got me hooked on quilting.
