Hello,

Today I started a blog. I have never done anything like this, so keep your fingers crossed. I love quilting. I have had a thing for fabric for as long as I can remember. I sewed doll clothes when I was a little girl. I made my first quilts when I was in grade school. A friend of my Mother's taught how to sew. They were just patches about 5 inches square sewn together. The "bat" was sheet blankets and they were tied. My Father still has one of the quilts I made then. I made quilts for each of my nephews when they were little. Now I have made a quilt for each of my great nephews and nieces. I have made a quilt for my Mom and Dad, and my sister Linda and her husband Jim. Those are the ones I have given away. I have lots of quilts that I have made through time. I started out making wall hangings and lap size quilts. I finally graduated to bed size quilts in 2000. There are way too many patterns and ideas I want to make. I still work on small quilts, as they are ones I can take with me to hand quilt. I do send the big ones out to be quilted. Too much for me to handle.
