my reasons are all of the above! Sewing for my family (made all the clothes for 5 kids and H) jeans and shirts lasted and fit better and were unique..we quilted when we were kids to keep warm. and for economical reasons..then a few years (20) ago I was stuck at home so I decided to make my grandkids a quilt so..
I love to see what happens when different designs pop out..always try different things ..so I have piles of blocks ..
and patterns that I have used to figure out how to make them in different sizes, colors, and arrangements, techniques, (don't throw anything away! I can make something useful or beautiful out of it
I think I was born in the wrong class (I could use servants that love to clean and pick up after me!!!!!)sigh!!
Life has been and is like a quilt.. all pieced together.. sometimes worn, dirty, and patched.. then a new quilt is started made from scraps left from the old and then the blocks of time get set together and most of the time each one gets more beautiful and interesting. Life is good!
