A Great Aunt taught me to quilt back in 1993, didnt get too far with it due to workload. Had medical problems in 1994, and have been quilting every since then :) Aunt Lola showed me how to piece by hand, then how to quilt in the frame. I am comfortable using a sewing machine for piecing now, but I still prefer to use a quilt frame to quilt. It is especially fun with someone else. :) My friend Mary showed me this group, and have enjoyed reading all of your ins and outs of the quilting bug:)
