I have been quilting 20 years. I make very traditional, non spectacular quilts. I always think I have great ideas, then I go to a quilt show and come away feeling very humbled compared to the things I see displayed there. Then I remember the looks on the faces of my quilt recipients and the love that went into making those quilts. Friends have wept upon receiving them. That is when I realize the quilts I make are valuable beyond words. Your skills will grow over the years and you will be be pleased and proud about this but what you feel when giving a quilt make with love is invaluable.
