I started sewing on my mom's featherweight when I was nine. By the time I was sixteen, I had accumulated a lot of scraps so I decided to make a quilt to use them up. I then started making baby quilts and tying them for family and friends and then graduated to kid quilts. I've never managed to use up all my scraps and scrap quilts are still my favourite. I like simple yet striking patterns and lots of colour. Lately the modern style quilts have been grabbing my attention and I've been designing some "windowpane" quilt patterns of my own. There always seems to be something new in quilting and it is a hobby that I doubt I will ever tire of.
