First Stitch Story: Meet Beth

In this episode, we meet Beth, whose sewing journey spans decades...from her first White sewing machine purchased in 1982 to rediscovering quilting after retirement. After years of raising three daughters and running a business, Beth came back to quilting in a big way. Her story is a wonderful reminder that it's never too late to pick up where you left off and make up for lost time!
