At quilt shows or displays I would be so depressed comparing my quilts to the beautiful art quilts, even tho people who received my quilts seemed to enjoy them and used them constantly.
Then one day a light bulb moment-I'm not an artist & never will be but I enjoy running a sewing machine & making bright simple quilts that are used everyday & people aren't afraid of using them & throwing them in the washer & dryer, babies spit up on them (or worse), the cat gets cuddled in them, they quilts go on picnics or the beach. So that makes me happy.
