I make them for all the reasons listed above. I have been making quilts for 20 plus years and hope that those who receive them enjoy them. Right now I have started to make "Cancer Comfort QUilts" and give them to any one who is going thur Chemo treatments. I just started this the first of the year so haven't made only one an gave it away The blocks for the second one are made just have to put it together. I have been commissioned to make two other quilts for before this Sept. They will be totally made by machine.
