April, I think that is why I quilt with a passion. I talked to my mother this past weekend. She commented that it puzzled her that quilting craze hung on so long. (She saw it come back into style in the 1970's for the bicentennial celebration.) The quilts she has were born of hard work and lean times. But, boy, was her family close-knit! I want to give something of that to my family. I can't take away the way the world works, but I can create a haven for them from the world. And quilting is a part of that!
