Quilting - Purpose?
#232
Making quilts is the best therapy I've found. It keeps me sane and grounded," I tell my husband when he asks, "What are we going to do with another quilt?"
I also like the fact that it is a challenge and it keeps me thinking, creating, and learning.

The love of doing and the love of the receiver and the look in their eyes say it all. I've given many away and don't see who they go to but I know they will be warm in body and hopefully in heart. Use them don't store them ...please.
Made some cuddlers for the local hospital Nicu and the nurses asked if I made small quilts for the babies. Needless to say, next day I was back with some. Smiles all around!

I have several reasons for piecing blocks.
I am relearning to use an injured hand.
I am doing something in that therapy which will result in a finished project.
I love texture/color/design--I can't seem to follow any instructions for a pattern. I take an idea and personalize it.
I also make "Prayer Quilts" for a ministry in my community. What a wonderful way to give.

I have been quilting about 25 years and I have one king quilt and two lap quilts. All the rest have been given as special occasion
gifts or "long-distance hugs." Sewing and quilting are my
happiness and reason for getting up in the morning. My husband and I each have huge families...someone is always getting married or having a baby, so it keeps me busy.
