So fun to read about everyone! You're all such wonderful women!
Here's a bit on how I got started. My mom had me take sewing lessons when I was growing up, which I loved. I loved anything crafty where i could use my hands. More important to my mom, since she was a piano teacher was music lessons. I took violin & piano lessons growing up. Loved anything to do with music. Then went to college & graduated in music. For 25 years or so, I did studio recording work, played for movies, played for lots of bands, tons of albums, etc coming into town, & the ballet. I always had dreamed of quilting, just not enough time with family & working.
I bought an embroidery--sewing machine probably 20 years ago. I did a few BOM & sewing in my spare time. Fun hobby. In the last 10 years though I've been able to do my dream of sewing & quilting. I just love it. I've had so much fun with swaps, quilting, quilting etc. I sell mini baby mini blankets & jewelry.
I have my DH, 4 kids, 8 1/2 grandkids, 8 horses, too many cats to count, and 2 dogs. Two of my daughters are still at home. My older daughter says she won't leave until she can take her horse.
