I grew up watching my grandmother applique and hand quilt on a huge frame set up in her living room. She would be shocked to know I can communicate with quilters around the world. I've already learned a lot while lurking -- its time to come out in the open.

Thanks grandma, for the love of sewing and quilting!

I learned to tie my shoes under a quilt frame. What a blessing to have quilts in my life. Welcome
