I started working at a job that was BORING in every way, shape or form. I honestly felt like my brain was not being exercised. I was discussing the situation with my mom who was a sewer earlier in her life. She recommended I look into sewing. I took a beginner's sewing class in which we made aprons. I hated it mainly because of having to trace the pattern and changing the seam allowances. Again, I was discussing with my Mom who mentioned she thought quilting only used one seam allowance and didn't require tracing anything. I walked into a quilt shop the next day, verified what my mom said was true and signed up for my first quilt class.
I haven't looked back.
