I started because I was trying to become more involved in my church, and some ladies started a quilting group. We would meet at the church and sew simple quilts to give to the homeless shelter. My first quilt ever went to a child for Christmas at the homeless shelter!! I had a lapse from when I was involved with that, but I am now going strong!! Sadly, I no longer attend that church, but I will always be thankful to the ladies that were involved with the group and so kind and helpful to me!!
