I am a retired math teacher. Taught for 43 years. I have been sewing since I was 10. Used to make my own clothes growing up. Got into quilting 36 years ago when I was still teaching. A fellow teacher got me interested in it. I have been quilting a lot since I retired in May. I also help costume for a local high school and a local theater group but since there has been no theater since last March quilting has helped me keep involved in sewing.
