It is fun to 'tickle' our memories from time to time. The first quilt attempt was yo-yos way back in the fifties. My father was night watchman in a downtown building and one of the building tenants gave him scraps from her dressmaking business and he brought them home to me. I must have made a gillion yo-yos but didn't know what to do with them and finally threw them away. I can't believe I actually threw them away. Boy, would I like to have them back! My next works were embroidered blocks and made into a baby quilt for our first son. That quilt hangs on a wall in his home-he's 45 now. In the '70's I got the first edition of Log Cabin by Quilt in a Day. It's been off to the races ever since. I'm still on the learning curve because I love to try new things. My love of quilting just increases as time goes along.
