I have been making my own clothes for 55 years, but I never had any desire or intent to make a quilt. Six years ago my sister moved from California to Texas, mainly to be near me. She is a quilter and I went to a few guild meetings with her, just to be a supportive sister. I knew I didn't have enough patience to quilt and didn't want to mess with it.
She teaches quilt workshops, and I signed up for her first workshop here, a Learn to Quilt class, again to be supportive. She was still new to town, and I wanted her to have a full workshop. Within months I was hooked and have been happily hooked ever since. Guess I am more patient that I thought I was.
