    Before I started quilting I was making window treatments. We just moved after I finally finished a window treatment for every window in that house. grrrr I would love to talk to those of you who have an interest in this and would have anything to share.

    Sewing was my first love. I used to sew blouses for my Aunt many years ago. I sewed some clothes for my DD's when they were very tiny. And I made several summer dresses for my DGD a couple years ago. When DD was pregnant with DGS, I sewed his crib bedding--sheets, quilt, dust ruffle and diaper stacker.

    I make window treatment for my home on occasion. I need to make some pillows for our couches soon.

    I've sewn things from men's western shirts to kids' clothes to drapes to Barbie doll clothes. Guess I just love to sew!
