I can't think of a better decoration for a room let alone an office! Things get stressful, just look at the quilt to stabilize!

The only quilt I've kept is one that I found at a yard sale. It is a hand pieced top of hexagons of numerous materials. I haven't found any two hexagons alike. It's like an I spy. I just finished it and loved it so much I kept it. Been sleeping with it for years. I only paid $4 for it!

The VAST majority of the quilts I make or for teens and kids as gifts. Some are related to me, some are not. I've sold a couple that were special requests for homemade John Deere quilts. I'm finishing one now with a Cars theme for my grandson who adores the movie.

My favorite quilt story is a friend of mine had been after me for years to make her a quilt. I like to personalize quilts when I can and had a hard time personalizing hers as we had so much history together. Then I stumbled on the perfect pattern, we went shopping together and she chose all the material (novelty patterns and colors I wouldn't have chose in a million years), I complained about the color choice to her and anyone else who would listen. I made the quilt. She and I have gotten so many raves that I was dumbstruck. I had to admit to her that she did well choosing the colors. Anyway, as payment for my labor and making a second quilt of the colors I chose, she let me have her old Jeep. I'd been wanting it and it all just worked out!
