I have sewn since about 5 years old when my Mom let me make doll clothes with her scraps. Made garments, home dec projects all my life. Started quilting 5 years ago while caring for my Mom who had alzheimers. She slept so much of the time but could not be left alone and I really, really, needed something to do besides TV and reading. Haven't stopped quilting since. Love it. Don't need any other hobbies.
