My grandmother quilted. she made a beautiful quilt with embroidered blocks my aunt did that had everyone's name and date of birth. Then i started working and a wonderful woman gave me a easy quilt pattern. pieced the top and put it away - it still isn't finished :( years later my sister started and joined a quilt guild. when i moved closer i joined. she likes to say she created a monster but i think it was linda who i worked with. also one day linda suprised me at work with a quilted/ appliqued apple wall hanging. i cried!
