Debbie's asked how we got started. Well, I come from a seamstress family. My great grandmothe Ava sewed all of her 3 daughters clothes during World War II even a white dress out of a parachute for my grandmother. My mother picked up sewing as a teenager and is a master of patterns sewing my wedding dress. When we were newly married, I had finished college and found myself a little board while my husband had night classes still. So I took a community quilting 101 class. It was a rag quilt. We'll 8 rag quilts later I needed a new pattern and started looking online. That changed it all for me. I love feeling fabric and quilting and hand binding is my favorite! I'm too the point that I'm teaching my seamstress mother how to quilt!

Beautiful block! I love the colors! Thanks for that story - it's similar to my start! My grandmother could make beauty from ashes! Such a legacy.
