Unlike many other crafts which I have turned to over the years for creative expression and outlet quilting feels like a lifetime passion. For example as I helped a friend selects fabrics for two quilts yesterday, I could feel the tensions I was carrying just slide off my shoulders. We both seemed to be totally absorbed by the process, and our shared delight when we found just the right combination of fabrics was nothing short of wonderful. Even as they were being cut our excitement over seeing how it all turns out kept building until we were practically drooling. Now how could we grow tired of this, and this was only one facet of a multi-faceted creative adventure! I believe that we are blessed to have found quilting.
