I quilt because....I love to quilt...it is my passion...it brings me to my happy place! I have quilted for over 35 years...sometimes more than others. Before quilting, I did other needlework, knitting, crochet, weaving, spinning, etc, but once I found quilting, that became my favorite creative outlet. So many possibilities making quilts, and quilted items. I love to be able to make quilts as a gift, as long as I know the recipient will want one. I do make several quilts a year to donate to Project Linus, and help at the 2 workdays a year that they have. I have owned a quilt shop...that was fun, but a lot of work, and always deadlines. I look forward to retiring, so I will have as much time as I want to quilt. For now it is mostly on the weekends.
