Why do we do this?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]365932[/ATTACH]Why do I spend all the time and money instead of just buying a gift? This is why....when I gave this grandaughter her quilt, she was so happy..the next morning she called me to tell me that the quilt made her feel like she was covered in love all night long....THAT is reason enough for me!!

I think we quilt because we are creative. Not everyone does this! I paint too, because I have to. That's part of what we are. I could buy my grandchildren a quilt, but that isn't creative of me. I just love it. I have been going thru a bag of scraps this afternoon that someone gave my sister and feeling of every piece.Grin

i quilt to relax and just make for me , i have made a few things for a few people. but usually just to sew and quilt. not to much into tv any more.. the only thing i watch is pawn stars and storage wars with the yepppp guy but there reruns.

I have no job. I'm too lazy to clean. I hate yard work. Day time television is awful. I can only kill an hour a day at the gym.
Seriously, I sew because it is fun. I make a quilt and throw it on the pile. If someone wants one, OK. If not, the pile isn't hurting anything.

Your words seem to have rung true for many of us, me included. I have more fun making a quilt for the pile than for someone I know. No pressure, no expectations, no time constraints. Just fun, doing exactly what I want to do.

Horrors of all horrors happened to me today. My good friend who is an awesome housekeeper followed me to my sewing room. I was going to get something to show her my progress. I could have melted into the carpet. But she keeps returning, so I guess I'm alright.
