Mine are made for everyday use. I also display quilts around the house. It is relaxing (most of the time) and it is a good feeling of accomplishment.

yep, for all those reasons.

They're made for everyday use by the family and the reason for doing it is simple. I love to sew.

For all the reasons. Did enter one in the county fair...stitching was "suburb" but the binding was "too large for the size of the quilt". It was all hand done and took second place because of the binding. Now my grandson has to have it on his bed when he sleeps at G'ma. That's "blue ribbon" enough for me. Most are give away to BE USED.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever...joy is good.

I do it for fun, the creative outlet, making things for loved ones who don't care if it has a boo boo in it, and to share time with my DGD.......
|
For me it's a creative outlet. Being able to make someone happy with a quilt is a big plus.

I do quilting like I do all things, because I want something to do and I want them to be used. Isn't that the purpose of them? As far as shows well never thought about doing one for that reason even though some say I should. I don't want the pressure because that takes the fun out of it. Yes I try to make "perfect " seams and try to do "perfect" blocks but when it comes right down to it, they aren't but they are good enough.
I'm happy and usually the person receiving the quilt is happy, end results, everyone get a little enjoyment out of my work. |
