I'm the 1st in the family to be a quilter, I have 1 daughter who shares this passion and we retreat once a year together. I grew up crocheting, embroidering and sewing for me and my family, never dreamed about the old ladies that quilt! Art was my passion and then stained glass when I retired. After we moved to Idaho a friend invited me to join her at a guild meeting, I was hooked, had no idea what I was about to get into. My glass sits abandoned in it's room and my stash of material. patterns, and tools grows daily. I love to see my projects grow into finished quilts, when they don't turn into UFO's. The friends I've made in quilting are amazing women, this will be a life long love for for me.
