Thank you so much for the encouragement. I have found that quilting is teaching me many things, most of all it is teaching me patience. I really do enjoy it. Each one is like a child and new and different in its own way. It is so fun to experiment with the colors and the material. I just wish that I knew more and was more accomplished so I could really make things come to life, so to say. right now my quilts are really simple, and I realize that sometimes simple is a good thing and right now that is what I need...really, really simple. I look at some of the other quilts that some of the more experienced quilters have made and they are so BEAUTIFUL. And my mom in law makes just gorgeous quilts. She just amazes me with her talent.
