I have only been quilting for about 3 years. My first quilt was a Christmas sampler that I kept as I am THE Crazy Christmas Lady. I then made a quilt for each of the beds in our home in different colors and patterns. I kept learning and improving skills. My first quilt to give away was a throw quilt for my 96 year old former 4-H advisor and she loved it. Now I am in the process of making quilts for my grandchildren to be given at their graduation. I finished one for my daughter, and will be starting one for my daughter-in-law. I also make baby quilts and other graduation quilts. For each gifted quilt I discuss colors size, and patterns with the person I am giving it to so that I am sure that it is one they will want. In addition to that I am part of a quilt club and we make charity quilts for patients in a cancer hospital and patriotic quilts for veterans at our local Nursing Home.
