My mom taught me to sew when I was young, along with other creative needlework arts. I didn't start quilting though until years later when I discovered a quilt top that had never been finished among some family heirlooms.
Since I already knew how to sew, I didn't think quilting would be that big of a leap to learn. I bought quilt books and magazines, quilting tools, and added to my fabric collection. I started making a few baby quilts as presents, which has turned into dozens of baby quilts over the years. Most recently I finished two twin size quilts for my nephews for Christmas.
What I love about quilting is how it combines my creative and technical skills--from fabric and color choices to the math and precision of making it all fit together into a beautiful treasure. Working at Quiltmaker has turned into the job I never knew I always wanted.
While there's always more to learn, I feel like I finally know enough that, someday soon, I'm gonna finish that family quilt top I found that started this quilting journey!
