Oh honey, I have been quilting since the mid 1970's, and I learn something new (about quilting) all the time.Quilting is constantly changing. Back when I first started it was templates and scissors, and we did it by hand. Also I had 3 little girls, 2 born in the same year 1974 ( not twins) so not a whole lot of time to devote to it. Now I have retired and spend almost every day in my sewing room, and I am still learning, and loving every minute of it!
