Fun and I want to leave something behind for my kids to put their hands on and remember. I have some 40 quilts that came from grandmas, aunts, and great aunts and great grandmas. Mom passed away very young and she did not quilt but she could crochet like crazy. These things are very dear to me and I have made sure my 2 girls know where each one came from. PLUS my quilting is therapy. I run an office and quilting sooths my nerves and keeps me grounded. I rather spend $$$ on fabric than medication.
