My grandmother always had a quilt in progress in her front room on her quilting frame (two sawhorses and 4 2x4's and 4 clamps) I am fortunate to have several of her quilts, some hand quilted and some tied. She was a great women and I hope I can be even half the person she was. I started sewing on a treadle machine at 7 on feed sacks. Never quilted until 15 years ago but I sewed all my clothes and did commercial sewing for a time. Now I am obsessed and make at least 3 quilts a month for charity plus more. What a great hobby and look at what you can accomplish and feel good.
