I was raised by my grandmother. I wasn't even tall enough to reach the pedal of the sewing machine. She would run the pedal and I the sewing machine. We made clothes for me. Fast forward, I divorced and had 2 children. I was board and wanted a new hobby. Mind you I also do ceramics. I then had my old sewing machine and sat down at it, remembering what my grandmother had taught me. I soon started to quilt. I am a self learner. I watch videos and read all kind of quilting books.
I have been quilting for about 30 years now.
