9th grade home ec, attempted to make a blouse, redid the button holes 3x, ended up with a D! Mom crocheted but could not read a pattern, she tried to teach me when I was 17... Picked it up again @ 21after buying a how to book. Also bought a how to knit book when i was 23, but was too frustrating. Took my 1st quilting class in Cordova in my early 40s taught a class (cathadral window) 6 months later. Moved, did not quilt again until this year, working on my 4th quilt this year. I also picked up knitting again about 6 years ago, it's hard to put down, I take knitting & crocheting with me when I travel, have designed a few of my own patterns. I also teach knitting & crocheting, as well as quilting here in the village.
