Well, I was lonely living in Missouri in 1989 when we transferred there with GM to a new plant, from Calif. I was babysitting for someone and one day she said, "do you sew?"..yes, I said, She said, she knew a lady that needed seamstresses to piece quilts..never heard of such a thing..I went to see this lady, miles away, winding through the dense Missouri backroads..There they were, a quilting busi
ness, and a BIG one..I applied, made a lone star in a week, and was hired, hence making 6 lone stars a week then onto 6 dahlias, and so on. Upon moving back to Calif in 1993, I dreamed of owning a long arm..In 2000, I was fortunate to be able to buy one and the rest is a long trail of thread and batting scraps:) Quilting has changed my life and added so much to my days~!!~
