My mom sewed and she made me take home ec when I was in junior high. I'm so glad she did. I made clothes for myself for many years. Then I started working and didn't sew as much. I'm not sure how I got interested in quilting but I do remember being fascinated by it when I was about 20. As time went on I started picking up quilting supplies but never did much with them. When I quit working and moved to Wisconsin about six years ago, I joined a local craft group to meet new people. They had a class on making baby quilts and that was the real beginning of me becoming a quilter. I have learned so much since then. Quilting has become in integral part of my life.
