I commenced quilting and patchworking in 1999 when watching paid TV, Lifestyle Channel. I was laid off work because of an injury and unable to continue working I had to find a hobby. This is something I have enjoyed tremendously and yes, it is very contagious!!! My first quilt was made from scraps of fabrics I had from making clothes...therefore varying types of fabrics too. I hand quilted the quilt and my daughter still uses that quilt today!!
I have joined a quilting club and have learnt so much and made some exciting quilts since my first one.
I think this hobby will carry me through the rest of my life. This year I intended to make a quilt for each of my nine grandchildren....maybe it will take a little longer!!
