I am a third generation quilter. I grew up with quilts. No house is a home without some quilts! I think in today's hurry-up world where we are required to do what everyone else wants/needs, it is so refreshing to just sit a while, think your own thoughts, choose what fabrics you want to use and how you want to put them together and rest your soul for a little while. We all need some time to be creative, to make plans of our own, to enjoy the colors of the world around us and enjoy life. That's why I quilt! It doesn't have to be a big quilt, a quilted purse, placemats, table runners, all have that same aura, relaxation, freedom, enjoyment. Quilt on!
