Before Goats . . .

Long before I even thought about goats, I learned how to quilt.  In fact, I think quilting actually saved my life.

When I was in my mid-20's, I became anorexic.  I won't go into the details, but my weight dropped down to 82 lbs.  Fortunately, I was wise enough to seek help and one of my counselors had two antique 6 pointed quilt blocks framed in her office.  Every week, I would always sit by those two quilt blocks and admired them until I asked her what those were and she told me they were quilt blocks.

So later on that night, I searched the phone book (we didn't have the Internet back then!!) and found a quilt store called "Comforts of Home."   I called them the next day and, lo and behold, they were starting a beginner's quilt class!!

Quilting took my mind off of my "problems" and gave me an avenue to express myself.  I fell in love with quilting.  Ever since then I have always loved star patterns and my most favorite pattern will always be the 6 pointed star.

This is a quilt block which will be part of a "scrappy" star quilt.  I hope to use this blog to document some of the quilts I am working on.
