Hello Darren,
I have learned how to quilt from my grandmother who will be 90 this July. I felt that it was a shame to let the generations of quilters in my family end with her when she passes. So I asked her to teach me how to quilt and she very patiently taught me how to quilt. Many years before she had taught my grandfather and it was one of the things that they did together during the short time that she had him after he retired and before he passed away from cancer. I still have my quilt that he made me circa 1986. He passed in 1988. I got my grandmother to show me how to quilt in 2007.
I enjoy making quilts, wall hangings, table runners etc for my family and friends. I give away most of the quilts I make. It is just more fun that way.
Well that's my quilting story....
