This is how Edyta Sitar got started quilting. If I can recall the story correctly, this is what I remember. Her mother-in-law quilted and after making quilts for all of her extended family, she just made quilts. When one was completed, she threw it into a laundry basket. Then when there was a local need, she would have quilts ready to give to the families. She taught Edyta to quilt and when Edyta named her quilting site, she named it Laundry Basket Quilts. Edyta is a wonderful quilter, especially applique. She is also published. Check out her site.
