I quilt because it is in my blood, I guess. My grannie, and aunts, and cousins, and sisters all belong to the sewing/quilting sorority. Everyone has a different talent; we have all quilted or sewed as long as I can remember; "country before country was cool" so to speak. I cannot begin to count the quilts I have made in my lifetime (my son still has one that I worked on at the lake when we were camped out in the Texas hill country); I make them for no reason at all and give them away. I have one quilt that I made for myself. I have made many for myself, but when a kid or grandkid comes over and likes it, it goes home with him/her. This one is staying here on my bed.
