I have been quilting for a few years. Most have gone to sisters :friends & new babies.
I try to finish what I start......I am working on 2 different quilts at this time..one for a friend going through chemo: the other for my sisters bday.
I find the process very therapeutic ..........

I have made a quilt for each of my three children, 2 grandchildren, brother, and sister-in-laws from fabric they have chosen. I live in a rural area and have shown quilts at the county fair (and won some blue ribbons). I am retired and peacing the quilts is my theropy. I do not quilt them however, I have a machine quilter who does a beautiful job.
Our guild makes quilts for the Project Linus orginazation. We only have 18 members but average 30-40 quilts a year for the project. The web cite is www.projectlinus.org

When I learn how to quilt, I will make one for each one of my family members for christmas gifts, and probably do more doll quilt swaps and yes donate to the needy, that is of course if S.S.S. dose not take a life time to get. as I have no money for fabric. but I geuss I can dream. Penny

I have surgery Wednesday so hope that well help the sight if not just have to learn to live with less sight. Thanks for listening. Ruth

I've been quilting for many years and recently finished a Shutterfly photo book with most of my quilts. I made an inventory of the quilts, with the happy outcome of a time-line becoming apparent. I was able to document my first efforts up to my latest. I discovered that I'd given many away (thankfully I kept photos of most of them). The quilts I've kept are hanging on our walls, changing with the seasons. Yes, quilting is indeed therapy. There were times when I just needed to hand quilt and to get lost within this art. Thanks for such a provocative post. :D

Mostly I give them to family members and friends. Each of my kids has at least two quilts and I have made one for each of my granddaughters. There are also a lot of quilts hanging out at my house!
I just keep making them---I can't stop!!
