geez, Ive been sewing for as long as I can remember, doing home decor. Got the quilt bug when my sister bought her quilting machine. I have a bad case of it now. IN the 2 years I've been doing it, I have made 8 quilts, but only 1 since I took the class and understand more now. I was just not aware of cutting the square, again to make them even, hahahha, no wonder my sister complained all the time.....She doesnt charge me for the quilting yet, but i do my own quilts on her machine, or leave them for her to do.

I'm 62 with two grown children a girl 35 and a boy 39. Two DGD's. I started quilting when I was about 30. Started sewing at age 12. My DDIL said she saw a place for her girls to learn to quilt. I thought that was a wonderful idea, they are 7 and 10. Its never to young to start.
