I learned to love and make quilts from my adopted grandmother. I made one with her helping, than went on to college. Around that time my siblings started getting married and having kids. I've always sewn my own clothes and it was a natural progression to baby quilts as gifts. I have 33 nieces and nephews (10 siblings) so I made alot of baby quilts. Once my own kids started school I had more time to quilt and made a quilt for myself and have been quilting ever since. BTW I'm now doing baby quilts for the babies of all those nieces and nephews!! I'm eagerly awaiting my Fun Quilter so I can finally finish all those tops I love doing.
