I am a third generation quiltmaker. When my kids were babies and on up till they were ready to leave home I made a lot of their clothing. When I ran out of kids I just naturally gravitated to quilting. My mother and I constantly talked on the phone discussing what quilt we were making and how to solve quilting problems. It was a social outlet for both of us, hers teaching and mine learning. I made quilts for all the grandkids, great grandkids and nieces and nephews. It is a hobby, a creative outlet, an opportunity to try new methods and a satisfying way to spend time, to challenge my mind and I enjoy the stacks of finished quilts to show for my efforts.
