Quilters are some of the most caring & giving people I've ever met. They seem to want to share not only everything they know about quilting but they share their beautiful work with others also.
Tom, you have picked a fantastic hobby. I have found that when I'm not feeling well because of something that might have gone wrong during the day, I can lift my own spirits by sitting down at my machine & making a small gift for someone or continue working on an ongoing project. Quilting takes my mind to a whole different realm....it's soothing to the soul.
