Quilting is my hobby, period. I love to sew beautiful quilts for myself and the family and friends that I love. Everyone who knows me knows that this is my passion and is close enough to me to appreciate the expense and work that goes into one of my quilts. I don't think I could ever "sew one for out". My quilts have to have a comfy home with people who are close to me or have value in my life. I guess I am an emotional quilter. The "Unknown Soldier" quilt (my name) that I am working on now is a charity quilt and that is an exception. But I wonder about this boy as I work on it. Where he is from and how severe his injuries. If he has family and friends who care about him. I will attach a label expressing my appreciation of his sacrifice. It just seems so insufficient. I like to think of him valuing and appreciating his gift, but even if he doesn't understand the money, the time, the effort, the most important thing to me is that I did my very good work for this unknown boy.
