My Inspiration
Aunt Alma was the one who inspired me to start making quilts in the first place, more than 23 years ago. We would go to visit and I would look at her latest projects and see photo albums of quilts she made in the past. She always said that "making quilts kept her out of trouble". She left this world quite a few years ago, but she'll always have a very special place in my heart and memories.
