Learned to sew as a child, started making some of my own clothes when I was 10 or 11. Then, when I was about 16, I decided I wanted to make a quilt using my grandmother's quilting frame (had never pieced or quilted) so I set out to make a Lone Star quilt with clam shell all over quilting - obviously I had no idea!!!!
Got it pieced, got it quilted all but about 6" - guess I should find it and see if it's worth finishing :shock:
Then got interested again a couple of years ago. This time I've taken some classes, joined sites like this, going to MQS in May - only one class there but I'm sure there will lots of shopping and dreaming, shopping and dreaming. :-D
