I put fabric aside for several years once. Did kniting, crochet, needlepoint, etc etc... Then one day I looked at all my stuff and it hit me. I really really love quilting and all this other stuff was taking me away from it. So I gave everything except my quilting stuff away and then just did quilting. But recently I've found a new love, machine embroidery. So I do a little of both.
I follow my heart.
