I have been toying with the idea of selling my piano (I've been playing for 45 years) and I just walked by it and made up my mind-yes I wil sell it, I never play it because all I want to do is quilt! So what happens that quilting becomes so all consuming?? Is there a "Q" in our DNA?,do Janome, Phaff, Bernina, and Viking find out where we live and put something in the water?? Are they in cahoots with Joanns, Connecting Threads, and Fabric. com?? :?: What do you think? :-D :-D :-D
Too funny!!!! I have been sewing for over 60 years and only quilting for maybe 5 years. My mother never quilted, she thought it was too "frivolous". My neighbor got me started. I just counted yesterday and I have a stack of 6 quilts I have completed this year, plus all the charity ones I have sent off. Someone asked me what I was going to do with those quilts, my reply was that I was just going to look at them and be amazed that I did them myself. They are not fancy designs, but they came from my hands. Kinda like my children now. And I plan to make many more. It has become my obsession! We artists just have to create, kinda like painters can't stop painting canvasses.
