I am a new quilter or as my Mother calls me "advanced beginner" but i have been making all types of crafts since my Mom taught my 2nd grade class how to needlepoint. I have started a small business selling all the different crafts, jewerly, and quilts i make. All the women in my family have sewed, knittied, crocheted as far back as anyone can remember and I think that its a great thing that I can express myself thru all that I make.
