My mom sewed...in fact she taught "Bishop" sewing...made lingerie that would make Victoria's Secret blush....lol! There was no way in h@@l I was going to give up the chance to go to the million stores in the mall and shop though....store owners were depending on me! I started cross stitching as a mom...and then we transferred to the middle of no where in Northern Michigan and "borrowed" my mom's sewing machine....my daughter will tell of the hundreds of dresses I made for her...and all the fittings...because I taught myself!Mom was pretty impressed that I must have been listening to something she said.
I am a self taught quilter....never taken a class....but lots of tutes and books. I enjoy simple blocks...putting the colors together is my creative outlet...and right now...3 quilts to bind are staring me in the face, wondering when I will get to them.....
