Good question I also remember when, 1982. A good friend wanted to learn and she talked me into going with her. I never regretted it. It is my passion and my sanity. I just love it. My first quilt never did get finished. It is a sampler, all hand pieced and hand appliqued, even the borders were hand done. It is on the top shelf and it's on my UFO list. Maybe next year!!!!

This is question #3 on Meg Cox's survey that was mentioned in the current newsletter. I don't remember why I started. I remember when I started my first quilt in about 1984 or 1985 (which by the way is still not finished but stuck under the bed). I remember when I made my next quilt about 2000 and I have been quilting ever since. I was subscribing to quilt magazines when I made my second quilt in 2000. I'm still thinking but "Why did you start making quilts?"
