I figured if my mom could work a full time job and sew halloween costumes, as stay at home mom, I could make costumes for our 2 dd's. I made many princess costumes. I learned Easter dresses are easier than most princess costumes. Then a friend got me started quilting by taking me on a shop hop! I didn't realize that so many shops could sell so many different fabrics! I've been in this quilting vortex for ~15 years now!
