I look at quilting as making very large puzzles! People are always looking at me strangely when they say something like "You sew, don't you?" and I reply, "oh no, not really, I just quilt." Makes perfect sense to me. They can't pay me enough to make their drapes or fix their jeans or whatever was going to be added to the first sewing part.
Welcome from a safe personal space distance away in the Seattle area. This is a great time to do some quilting, glad that you found us.
