I had always loved sewing & saw an Eleanor Burns show on TV one day. I made a log cabin quilt top, then we sold our home & moved to Florida in an RV. I had back surgery and continued to work until I just couldn't handle the pain any more. My doctor put me out of work. A few months later I found cancer and had to endure chemo for 6 months. A dear friend brought me a bunch of fabric she didn't want and as soon as I got enough strength to go through it, I chose some pieces to make a quilt with and ended up having so much fun, I made two quilts at the same time!! The second one became my granddaughter's Christmas present with a large pillow to match that I made from the extra blocks! What can I say... I had so much fun making the quilt blocks, I just couldn't stop!! LOL! I haven't stopped yet. It makes me feel productive even though I can't do things the way I used to & I have to keep moving or I seize up.
