- I am semi-retired. I work from home, and sew in my spare time to relax.
I used to sew many years ago when my children were young. I started sewing again in 2011 when a church group turned me on to the tied strip quilts they make for missions over seas.
That year, I made 19 of the tied strip quilts for Christmas gifts last year--one for every member of the family. The grandkids really like them. I don't really consider them to be true quilts, though.
I took a tee-shirt quilting class in February of 2012 at my local fabric shop. I didn't want to tie that quilt, so I took a class using the Tin Lizzie that is available to rent at the shop. Since taking the class, I have completed 3 true quilts, and look forward to doing many more.
