My mom is an incredible seamstress and quilter and taught me to sew, knit and embroider when I was a child. I made my first sundress for myself when I was 9 (my daughter still wears it). I have been sewing and knitting ever since. About two years ago I decided I want to make a quilt for my nieces first child. My plan was to embroider blocks and send it to my mom for assembly...then I started to read books and ended up doing it myself. Joined a quilting group and have taken some classes...loving quilting.
