I love love quilting! I made my first quilt for a friend in 1975. Can't believe I've quilted for so long (or that I'm that old!) I retired last year; I was a high school guidance counselor. When asked what I planned to do when I retired, I responded "Whatever I want!" I'm happy to report I've done just that...quilting is so much fun!
