What inspired YOU to start quilting? 👇♥

[@ThirtySomethingSuperMom]

I absolutely love this! Millie might just inspire me to start quilting. I’ve held onto so many sentimental pieces, like baby clothes from almost 20 years ago, and quilting seems like the perfect way to give them a new life while cherishing the memories they hold.
