I've been interested in sewing since a little girl, watching my mother sew many outfits for me and herself. I was fascinated by her button tin, which held many old buttons from previous outfits. I started sewing for myself after a visit to the USA in my late teens. My parents and I visited an outdoor pioneer museum. In one of the buildings a huge quilt frame was set up with a gorgeous quilt in it. I'd never seen anything like it.
