I have sewn for years and years -- learned to sew making Barbie & Ken clothes by hand....Then I decided to sew for myself. What was I thinking? Nothing fit and if it did, it was the wrong color, wrong fabric, wrong style, etc. But with quilts -- no big fitting problem. I can put all kinds of colors together that I love but could never wear. And most people like my quilts. It's so satisfying to finish a quilt/table runner/wall hanging, etc. and give it to someone or stash it away for a present later.
