- 1973-1976: I learned to needle turn applique and hand quilt while living in Hawaii. I wanted to make something truly Hawaiian. Still love echo quilting, but will use the machine on big projects in the future.

- 2002-2007: Started while living in Utah and finished after moving to MN. Lot of it was quilting while driving between the two states. It was my first attempt to piece, used a magazine pattern, and cut the pieces with a scissor while watching TV. Obviously, I needed some updating!
