I don't really hate making tops, but prefer the quilting process to making tops. I do only hand quilting and feel that I can be totally relaxed and unclutter my mind when I am quilting. I do enjoy getting a quilt totally finished and feel that every one is a work of art. I have always wished that I could paint nature scenes, but really have no talent for drawing or painting, so I feel that God put quilting in my life to satisfy my desire to create art.
