Seems that I have always sewn. When I was in high school (30 years ago) I made a Lone Star quilt from a kit that my mom got for me. Then didn't do any more quilts for many years. Several years ago, I saw a sampler in a museum in Kearney, Nebraska, when I was visiting a friend there. The quilter created 2 blocks of each design with different fabrics. I said, "I could do that" and I did. I got really simple block patterns from quilterscache.com and went to work. Every one I made was my new "favorite" block. I kept showing my husband and children each new creation. I think they were really glad when I got that quilt done. I've been hooked ever since.
