i started sewing when i was 12...my mother had a box of scraps and made me a quilt from them when i went to college. i didn't get into quilting until i was married and wanted to do a quilt for my friend's baby....it took me all wk to just hand quilt it after i had pieced the tile block one.
my MIL quilted and my husband's aunt, then i got put on a quilting committee at my church....slowly, i did more and more.
