If you love it that much, keep it, and make something else for the other person. There is nothing wrong with keeping something that means so much to you!

being able to quilt/sew is a gift for God, lots of people can't do it....you're not being selfish I have 5 of the 100's I've made.

So much love, so much thought, so many tiny victories and perhaps many larger failures as the work begins It is so absorbing. This goes until the completion of the quilt and then I realize how very affectionate I feel towards the quilt. Can't wait to pull it over my shoulders for a delighted snooze. Give it away! Oh NO! People really have very little time to give to really appreciate as in this world they are swiftly moving on to the next thing.I'll never forget that it took me two years, and three sessions of illness to professionally pull together my family history. The next year I went to a family wedding where all the recipients were and NOT ONE even mentioned it to me. I suspect that I might have done the same in years past. So I really can't fault human nature and the speed of life. But I can freely keep my quilting work.

Why can't you keep it. If you love it, it should be yours. No guilt!

Sure! You need a portfolio, right?

We are mad aren't we? Almost every quilt I make I want to keep at some point!!! Just OCCASIONALLY, why shouldn't we!!!
ITS YOUR QUILT!!! would love to see it! |
I've been asked if I ever keep a quilt for my self and
the answer is always no. That is until I went shopping this week and found the most beautiful fabric. At that moment I knew I was going to use this to make my self a quilt. I'm so excited about this and can hardly wait to get started. Betty Lee |
