I am still so very sad that my dear friend in Alaska, Lynda Moore, who inspired me to quilt has gone to be with the Lord in a tragic murder/suicide.  She was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I loved her dearly. She was a wonderful Christian woman who loved and gave her life for others.

True, I started quilting at 63

I have fallen in love with quilting!  I never thought I would be able to quilt.  I have a very dear friend in Alaska who was a master quilter and looking at her beautiful quilts I thought to myself "there is no way I could ever do that". 

Well, I came across one of my mother's quilt tops, hand sewn (shown on my cover) and decided that some day I would figure out how to quilt and finish her quilt.  My mother passed away in 1999. 

I completed a quilt for my granddaughter's preschool, quilted several baby blankets, and started on an underground railroad quilt project that is still in the working.

What a wonderful hobby!
