They deserved it way more than what, you know, the closet of my house deserved it.

I mean, I have still to this day not really gone to Joanne's and gotten a bunch of very specific fabric.

My first one was a box of fabric squares that were pre-cut that my mother, who is a prodigious yard sailor, had found.

And so she got these at a yard sale and gifted them to me.

Thanks, mom.

And I was in art school at the time.

And I thought, I wonder if I can make a picture using fabric.

It wasn't so much this kind of quilting pedagogy that a lot of quilters come from familial or cultural or community.

It was more just like, gosh, I wonder if I can use this raw material that I have.

Well, I started by hand.

I think I did like 10 squares by hand.

And then I said, never again.

And I have not looked back.

my father's girlfriend's mother gifted me one of her old sewing machines.

So I had it, but at that point didn't kind of have a use for it.

And I pulled out that machine and figured out how to thread it.

And, you know, probably didn't get the tension right for a decade after that.

But I feel like hand sewing has its place for people who want to do that on purpose, but it's not necessarily the most efficient.

And though for me, I said, no, thank you.

Fair enough.
