I was a Camp Fire leader for 7 years, and one year I heard about a local quilt shop that would give free quilting lessons to groups of Girl Scouts, Camp Fire, 4-H, etc. Well, while the kids in my group were learning to quilt I kept thinking, "I could do this!

Eventually I graduated to dying fabrics, both chemical and vegetable process, and teaching that to quilt clubs.

The past few years I have been edging tentatively into the realm of art quilts. Overcoming the snobbery of 'real quilting' versus using the occasional glue stick has been freeing and exhilarating! The adventure continues...
