I had always loved fabric and sewn things. My first job was in our local fabric store. Had done some quilting though had not considered it quilting so much as sewing for the kids. Bit a couple of years before my grandma died she passed on to me some quilt tops she had pieced together for my children. She said they needed quilted and she thought I could do it. Well needless to say, I finished them and was so infected by the "bug" I am still scratching the itch to this day. What a gal!
