For me, quilting is my PASSION. It's something I MUST do to make my life complete. I make a lot of charity quilts. After I was diagnosed with the big C requiring surgery, my surgeon told me no sewing for several weeks. That was a dark time for me, as much for what I was going through as the inability to put my passion and love in stitches. I went through a year of very tough times, but being able to go to my sewing studio and sew for a while helped me through it. I now donate quilts to my local cancer center for the patients going through chemo.

My mother sits on my shoulder and whispers in my ear many of her favorite sayings, one being "Idle hands are the devil's workshop". So I crochet while watching TV, can't just sit there doing nothing.

Sometimes it is hard to find just what our passion is, but with patience and perserverance it will show itself. Just keep plugging along with what you want to do, or feel the need to do.
