I quilt because my grandmother quilted, my mother quilts and my sisters quilt and because I want to learn well enough to pass it on to my granddaughters. Sitting behind my sewing table and sewing machine takes me to a whole new place where I can think slowly, appreciate if I do something right and try to pat myself on the back!!!! I am in my own little world and I think we all need that once in a while. Sort of like "Calgon, take me away!" I just say "Singer, take me away!" and I am gone!
I love to keep my mind active by planning the next one I am going to work on and at the same time keep what I am doing now separate from the rest. It is my way of keeping a chaotic order in my brain, heart and mind. Seems to work for me. And if it ain't broke, I am not changing it!!!!!!! Edie
