This is from an old "Stitch 'N Sew Quilts" magazine. It was written by Debbie Anderson Searles
Surely when the final stitch is entered and the needle laid to rest only a quilter can know the feeling of pride soaring within her soul. She has the contentment of knowing that a long, hard journey has come to an end She has conquered a challenge and through her own patience and endurance has created a loving work of art. It may well live on long after she has finished her walk upon this earth.
Perhaps what makes a quilt so special, is that pride a quilter knows -- that deep in her heart she knows -- some distant future generation might gaze upon her quilt or touch its fragile threads and till feel the love and care that she has sewn in every stitch.
