My sewing started in high school and after that I started making clothes, married and made clothes for our two sons and my husband. Sewed very little when I worked. Retired and took a quilt class "Storm At Sea" quilt. How naive I was, because I thought that you could make a quilt in a day. I made it for one of our sons because he lives near the ocean. After dinner, I would go to my sewing room and worked on the paper-piecing. My husband asked me how long it would take me to finish the quilt, I told him I did not know. He replied if you were playing baseball, what inning are you in. I said that I was still in spring training. It took me from June to November to complete the quilt with the help of someone machine quilting it. I just came home from the Hershey quilt show, and I am inspired, but I will never be a creative quilter. I need patterns.
