AMEN!! to all of the above advice. DO NOT STOP QUILTING. Think of how many folks you can warm up! Quilts & quilting never go out of use. I think it's the grandest hobby ever.
I belong to several groups. We make lap quitls for nursing homes, mental institutions, crisis pregnancy centers, and Ronald McDonald house. I even gave one made as a prayer quilt to a friend who lost her husband and several to grieving families. I prayed for them as I constructed it. I told them that when they wrap up in it to imagine God hugging them. It's such a comfort! It's one thing I can do without even leaving home (except to go buy fabric - it's a dirty job but someone has to do it.haha)
