I live in Hampshire, England. I have always sewn from an early age. First at school , then evening classes for dressmaking & tailoring. When I retired I was looking for some new challenges so took on a City & Guilds course for machine embroidery where I learn't all sorts of techniques. Quilting & patchwork followed. I now mainly make things for charities as there are only so many quilts you can hang on the wall, put on the furniture or gift to friends.
