A New Begining!

Where do I start?  I've not kept up with my blog and I sure do miss it. I don't remember a time in my life when I didn't create, a young farm girl that learned to entertain herself and found early a love for sewing. My Mother had a treadle sewing machine ( she didn't sew though) tiny me would stand to petal it because I was so small! But, machine sewing didn't come first my hand sewing was a real love, I made doll clothes, lots of doll clothes!  In 8th grade (1967)  I started sewing my own clothes with no one to teach me I somehow fell in love with fabrics and creating clothes. In 1972 I made my own wedding gown, I was only 89 lbs so it was hard finding a dresss so making my gown was my answer. From there it was years of sewing my children's clothes, husbands shirts and everything else. Finally, in the late 80's I made my first quilt from a book, Irish Chain by quilt in a Day. After that my love for sewing quilts was even more fun as their were getting to be more books out on quilting making it easier. So here I am today sewing and planning quilts almost everyday, loving quilting even more each day. I'm so thankful for my love to sew it has gave me many hours of peaceful enjoyment!
