I think we all agree that it is not the fancy machines, perfect thread, expensive fabric and other things that are too many to list that makes the quilt beautiful. We all do the best we can with what we have to work with. Your avatar is beautiful and if that is an example of your work you should be very happy with the quilts you make. That is a beautiful quilt. Seams to me like you have a lot of challenges in your life and it is wonderful that you still have time to quilt. Hugs to you. Lorraine

You are a quilter. Fancy machines, expensive threads, etc don't make quilts. It is through hands and hearts that the most wondereful quilts are produced. God bless you for the things you are dong and may you always quilt, and do it just like you have been.

This is the first time I've replied to this site. You inspired me. If you don't think you're a good quilter, look again at the quilt picture by your name. It is spectacular! Really spectacular!! Keep on quilting and don't sweat the details so much. Life's too short.

I feel it is the love that goes into a quilt that makes it special. It is giving of yourself to design and make a quilt that someone will use and make them happy. My quilts aren't "showpieces" but I enjoy doing the best I can and not beat myself up if something isn't perfect. I quilt is made to be used, not hung on the wall, IMHO.

Fancy gadgets don't make a quilter. Think of the pioneers and how they quilted. They had to use whatever was on hand. I remember my gr-grandmother making comforts out of our old clothes. I know she did not have a machine and they were tied, but they served the purpose and I know she enjoyed making them. That is what counts. If you enjoy the process that is all that is important. God Bless you for being such a dedicated caregiver. May you have many more years of happy quilting!
