I started sewing in high school and then began quilting with my Auntie in my mid-twenties (46 now.) Got off it for quite a while and now just getting started again.

I used to sew years ago and then hadn't done anything for years. I always wanted to learn to quilt and decided I would teach myself....that was last year at the age of 63.

Made my first quilt (QS Hole in the Barn Door) through a LQS class in 1997 (age 33); had fussy cutting; sashing; triangle pieces -- way too much to take on as a first endeavor!!! In 2000 tried again with comfort quilts for pediatric unit - birther method. Didn't branch out beyond those until 2 years ago (age 45).
