I have been sewing most of my life, but just started quilting about 4 years ago. At my church there is a quilting group and my friends kept trying to get me to come, but I was sewing for a living and wasn't interested in sewing for a hobby. But, when I quit my job, I thought I would give quilting a try. And the rest, as they say, is history. I wish I had more time for it, but I do what I can when I can.
