I quilt as a creative outlet and for the peace it gives me to sit and sew. Some times I find I have been at it for hours and hours and it seems like minutes. I have tried other creative things, but always seem to return to my sewing room. I design some of my quilts and some are traditional; it is so much fun to take a few pieces of fabric, cut them apart and put them back together as a totally different and beautiful piece of fabric. If I couldn't quilt, I would probably be on some kind of medicine to help with depression, but I quilt, I enjoy, and I pass that love on to others
