(Get ready to lol) For me it was when I decided that I wanted to try something new and maybe even enter it into our county fair. Well, my husband told me that there was "no way you'll be able to learn to quilt and then make one, especially good enough to enter into the fair." Well that was all it took. I had exactly 3 weeks until fair time. I bought me a book with a pattern I really liked, bought the fabric, sewed it, entered it. And guess what, It won first place against even seasoned quilters. Guess I showed him. Although I think he was using reverse psychology on me. He was very proud and so was I. I have been quilting since. Up to date I have made and sold 6 other quilts.
