Sewing and quilting is relaxing to me. My Mother always sewed so I learned how to sew in Junior High and High School. It wasn't until after I was married a few years that I saw a Quilt in a Day class offered at a local store. I went to that class and the rest is history. I was hooked on quilting and have been making quilts and collecting fabric since the early 1980's. It's very enjoyable and I like everything about it--the fabrics, the colors, the finished quilts, etc. It's also a productive hobby and I have given away many quilts through the years as gifts. I also make charity quilts for our local hospitals. Quilting is a very rewarding hobby and I have also met many wonderful people as a result of quilting.
