Ive been quilting for about 25 years ..watching my grandma quilt since I was 10 though.. Ive been in booms since #5 I think it was. Im a mother of 2, grandmother of 7, great grandma of 5. Still working but hopefully not more than another 2-3 years. Ive learned so much from this wonderful group of friends..you will find us crazy sometimes, caring always, helpful always...FUN all the time!!
