My mother-in-law was a quilter until she became too old and arthritis kept her from doing so....she will be 99 in November! She always made quilts for family members so they would have something to remember her by. That gave me the inspirations to begin quilting for my 7 grand daughters. When they are old enough, they select the pattern, choose their colors and then we go fabric shopping. Only have 1 that was old enough to do this so her quilt is done, the other 6 are only 6 years to 1 year old so in the meantime I am busy making quilts because I am hooked!
