Quilt for many reasons, it's a gift, because it has to be made and it's my relaxation (most of the time).

Mainly I quilt to make something unique and special for ones I love and want them to have something coming from my heart~not just something store bought...

Does there have to be a purpose?

I quilt just because I quilt.

I just like to make em. If they turn out nice and someone likes them, they may end up given away. Sometimes I make one with a particular person in mind and use it as a gift.

I make quilts for pleasure and often donate them. My kids already have ones I've made and they are used daily

Beats going to therapy. I don't know if it's cheaper or not but it feels good. I like to go to my quilt room and play. Whether it's actually sewing, rearranging,I find if I rearrange my fabrics from time to time it's like a visit and I find things I forgot I had and wow, this goes with that and before you know it I have a quilt. Cutting up scraps, now that can really be fun. I just need a good storage system for that. And looking at patterns brings a whole new world of creativity and just getting away from it all. My small little world of peace and creativity. katie
