I LOVE making things by hand -- Quilts, Knitted things, Spinning Yarn, Soap, Needlepoint, Clothing, Gardens. But mainly Quilts. I got inspired by a completed top-piece of my grandmother's when I was in high school. It was an applique & reverse-applique top of flower baskets & vines in Dresden blue & white. When I lived in Northern California long ago, I belonged to a Quilting Guild and also taught Quilting for Adult Education. I think I learned more from my students, some of whom were in their 80's & 90's! Great women. I began to also repair quilts, which I love. There are so many needy quilts out there! :o) Upon completion of one of my first big quilts for my best friend, she looked at it for a while & then said, "You're a masochist!!!" I said, "Thank you!!" I love doing things the way they were done in the past, before machines. All by hand.
