My first quilting experience was when my grandmother gave me a stack of paper-pieced scrappy stars made by my great-grandmother in the early 1970s. Grandmother took me to the fabric store to get a background fabric (she picked out a polyester - Grandmother was not a quilter). I made individual quilted blocks and gave one to my Mom and my sister-in-law.
It started me on an on-and-off lifetime love of quilting. |
