Gather the Women Quilt

I learned to cross stitch when I was 5 years old and continued to learn the sewing crafts throughout my life. I could make my own clothes to wear to school by 7th grade. I make quilts for fun. My mother and I get together several times a year to make a quilt. Who ever hosts the weekend chooses the theme and fabric. We start and finish together with the same fabric and information and our quilts come out very different from one another.
