I have sewed since I was 10 yrs old mostly making clothes for myself. In 2006 when my mom passed away we were going through her house and found a box of quilt squares some hand sewn some machine sewn. No one in family knew where or who the maker of the blocks was. My mom sewed but she was never a quilter. I had 2 friends at work who were quilters and with their encouragement I decided to take on project of finishing the quilt. I still haven't finished but it is on the list of to dos this year. The quilting but bit me and I haven't stopped yet.
