it is all for "the love" of quilting. it is for the love of the fabric, it is for the love of the colors, it is for the love of the family, the love of friends. it is for the love of the task, the love of the work, the love of completion. it is for the love of giving, for the love of healing, for the love of being able to keep a heart or body or soul warm. it is for the love of life, the love of the moment of discovery, the love of knowledge. it is for the love of "making do", of using found materials, of knowing that no one else can do exactly what you do.
dear joy, you are a quilter, head to toe, heart to hand.
