I have always worked with all kinds of crafts, sewing, knitting, needlework. At work one day a friend was hand piecing blocks. I watched her and we talked. I pickup a quilt kit that was cut and ready to sew. I brought blocks to work and worked on them at lunch. When I travel for my job, I would take blocks with me to hand piece while waiting for planes of meetings. When I retired, the bug really hit. I love quilting and like making quilts for friends and love ones.
