I had taken a beginning quilting course in 1985 where everything was done by hand (the piecing, appliqué, etc.) but I didn't finish the project and didn't do anymore quilting until taking that sampler class. That hooked me and I've finished many quilts since then!<br />tstanulis@verizon.net<br />Teresa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08975526239096347244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-82274959815271615212014-07-26T13:02:19.892-05:002014-07-26T13:02:19.892-05:00I've been quilting for nine years.I've been quilting for nine years.Afton Warrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267299238188424983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-80912755395828837282014-07-26T12:05:18.262-05:002014-07-26T12:05:18.262-05:00Probably too late to get in on the giveaway, but I...Probably too late to get in on the giveaway, but I just started learning to quilt in 2012 and am enjoying the process!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814407420789455322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-31684236613756252162014-07-26T11:01:17.644-05:002014-07-26T11:01:17.644-05:00I am going to my first quilt retreat in November. ...I am going to my first quilt retreat in November.
