Hello Vera! Glad to have you here.
I started quilting as a senior in high school because I wanted to make my own quilt to take to college. 40 years later, here I am! I used to do a lot of garment and costuming construction, but mostly anymore I just quilt.
At first the "little old quilting ladies" rather intimidated me but now that I've become one I don't think I really had anything to fear.
