How Did You Get Started?

As I was heading to bed last night I had this wonderful idea for a blog. I had just finished sewing my niece Lauren's quilt top and thinking about how I will be starting Jackies on Saturday, one thought led to another and I started thinking about how far I have come as a quilter.
So with that thought I thought it would be fun to share with you all how I started quilting, I love hearing how people got into it. Did you start at you Mother/Grandmothers knee? Take a class to support a friend, or like me, got bit by a wild hair?

So lets here it how did YOU start quilting?
This is what you do:
Write you story in you blog, then if you want send me a link to your story as a comment for this post, I will compile all of the links and publish them in one post in a week or two. Sound fun? I think so!
So take a walk down memory lane and share with us all how you got started quilting!
Have fun
