My grandmother was incredibly creative--she could cook, sew, paint, play piano. I've always felt a need to be creative, but didn't have the skill. Years and years ago a friend and I took a quilting class, back when we used templates and cut out each piece individually. I was always frustrated because I couldn't get anything to look like I wanted it to! About 3 years ago I decided to try again using the newer methods, and there's been no looking back! I love the feel of fabric. I love going up into my little sewing room and doing my own thing. And I love the look and feel of quilts. I love the history of them, and I feel like there's some kind of tie to women generations back who did the same thing. I love being able to produce something beautiful and giving it to someone special, because I think every quilt is full of love and comfort, and what wonderful gifts they are to give!
Sounds to me llike all of you feel pretty much the same!
