I have come and gone with quilting. I love it but in the past I did not have the time. I made quilts for other people and with that in mind, I never took a picture or kept one for myself. In the back of my mind it was...oh I will get to that when the kids are grown or I retire and have oodles of time. so over the last 35 years I have made some quilts for family member and let me tell you......I never belonged to a guild or had a group like this on the internet. So to be honest I think that my quilts were probably lucky to have made it finished. Because I made them for specific people, I never had any UFO's. So now I am retired and the kids are sort of all gone (some have moved back in due to the economy...they are refugees of the economy) I have the time to go to quilt classes and to join a group
of other quilters. Plus this group here. I have learned more about quilting that I had no idea about and that makes me wonder how on earth I ever quilted before. My last quilt was the wedding ring for my daughter which was 9 years ago. Then I had a friend who got me interested about 7 years ago and I started a cat quilt which I never finished. I lost interest because I got to a point that I don't know how to finish it. I didn't like any of the ideas I tried, so it is sitting waiting for me to get to it. So now that I am back into quilting......My enthusiasm is totally high. But I can also attest that I know that my interest will go through some down times where I won't want to quilt and I know that is fine. I have enough other crafts to play with. And that is the whole idea........Go play. Oh yeah that cat quilt.........I have an idea of how I want to finish it now. Don't despair......do something else and it will come back.
