I was in kindergarten and I was watching my mother as she was making my first quilt. It had a smurfs panel on it and was yarn tied. I remember being so excited for that quilt, and it was my favorite blanket ever. After I graduated high school, I joined the Army and that quilt went to Germany and Iraq with me. After that, it finally fell apart and had to be replaced. I watched her sew a lot growing up and remember a few lessons, but never really go into it until I became an adult.
