Me too.I sewed from my early teens. I was the oldest of 8 children, not alot of money and being the oldest I didn't even have the luxury(?) of hand me downs. I sewed for my self and then my sister.Then my children and grand chilren. I watched El Burns as long as I can remember but only got the nerve to try quilting a few years ago. She is my hero.I'm not as good as I'd like to be,but I get better with each one, or I should say I learn from each one.
