I used to watch Quilt in A Day and always thought I will do that some day. Then I started watching Alex Anderson, Simply Quilts. So I went to an Auction and got my first Sewing Machine for $2. It weighted about 50 pounds but worked great. I met my DH and just loved his mother she was a wonderful person so I decided to make my first quilt for her. I think it was called stepping stones. I started it in April and in June she got sick and passed away. From the time she passed until she went in the ground I worked day and night to get it done. No one will ever see my first quilt because it went with her. Every quilt that I make now has a little piece of fabric in it that was from her quilt. Even if it’s a 2 inch square. I now have 6 grandchildren and am working on quilts for all of them.
