I was about 6 or 7 when I started helping my grandmother tie quilts. Gram made lots of what she called scrap quilts for the family (8 of us kids at the time) and aunty's family (8 cousins). Lots of quilts to tie. Had to be square knots or do over. I didn't get into making my own quilts until I was 28 and I have never stopped since.

I started at 68 -- never too old to learn something new

My Mom taught me to sew when I was just a kid, making doll clothes, then my own clothes. I remember making a peach colored tent dress for my grade 7 graduation. Oh my! I made my first quilt all by hand for my first baby when he was born in 1989. I was 35, and it's been a love affair ever since.

I was 29, but didn't become a dedicated quilter until age 69. I'm so crazy about quilting now I'd spend every minute in my sewing room if I could. Just finished a quilt for my great niece who turns one year old today and I did it without a pattern, just picked out fabric, fussy cut and made blocks. Added teddy bear sashing and backed it with Paddington Bear. The quilting is a meandering stitch and did swirls in the blocks. All in all I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I'm still struggling with binding. Practice, practice and some day I'll get those mitered corners perfect. So I sure got off the subject didn't I? I wish I'd started quilting seriously years ago, but I'm sure having a ball now.

I started quilting in 1963 and have been doing it ever since.
