I started to quilt because an interior decorator recommenced a chambray bedspread for a bedroom. I couldn't find one, so I decided to make one. then I made to more to layer on that bed. Then, my son was graduating from the Ohio State University, and I wanted to give him something he would love and use for a long time. I made him a quilt in his school colors, scarlet and gray, and he was thrilled. And now I am addicted. I quilt because I like to work my creativity using textiles and colors. I like to give gifts that are personal, and a quilt is very personal. I get a lot of satisfaction and pride in a beautiful quilt that I can put on a bed and complete a room.
