I was getting ready to embrodiery on a towel from a big box store yesterday, wow, it was so off. I had to cut it down and resew it before I could even use it. Now it is much smaller, just goes to show me that store bought is not perfect either.

I quilt because I enjoy it...of course when I make a gift for someone I am more excited about it then them. I love how I can try and put their personally in the quilts. I love how all the quilts are unique and its a hobby I love. People have no glue how much it costs to make quilts...I have had people ask me to donate my quilts...someday I will...but I have quite a few to make for my home and my family/ extended family. When people ask me to make quilts for their cause...they never even hint about providing the materials...I will make and donate but most likely to the causes that mean a lot to me...and when I finish the ones for my families...people have no glue it costs over 100.00 a quilt when using quilting fabrics from the local quilt shops.
