I've been quilting & hand quilting 25-30 years. Lost track of time. My 1st couple thing's I did. Was makeing a couple shirt's. For some reason, just didnt click my trigger. Then I took my scraps, and made a lot of scrappy tops. We used them to cover out chair's, etc. Took a quilting class, and kind of went from there. Eventually learnt what backing's & batting was. From there I took off like a bat out of hell. And to this day I wonder what I would be doing on the side, or hobby.
