Is Quilting Still Enjoyable For You?
#21
I've been quilting in two times in my life - as a small child I was taught a 9-patch sitting by my gramma as she stitched whatever. The doll quilt that I finished is now preserved and framed. Many (MANY) years later - about 15 years ago I learned to quilt again. I love it as much now as I did then.
I think one of the things I love is that it is NEVER the same. It is constantly changing either in fabrics, patterns or techniques.
I find I love it more now than ever before in my life.

I absolutely love it. I have been quilting for about 7 years now. I don't get bored because there are so many different techniques, fabrics, threads, etc.
I love that I make something useful and decorative.

Quilting is my therapy and my solace. Hubby seems to have lost his sense of fun and enjoyment of life so not too pleasant to be around. So I escape to my sewing room and quilt, quilt, quilt. I can spend hours in there just sewing away. Been quilting for 10 years and love it still.

yes- i still love it- it is the process for me- and i can not imagine ever getting tired (or out of love)of the process.
sometimes i might become frustrated- but it is as much a part of my life as any other aspect of my life- can't quite imagine life without it.

My problem is short attention span.
I will start on something then find a new pattern (thanks to the board) and just have to start another quilt.
Ive got way to many unfinished projects.
Plus could finish all of them if I wasnt crusin the board everyday.
Love quilting, cats, books, tv. My life is full.

I restarted quilting-took a break when boys were grownig-and have currently been sewing for about 4 years. I love it, deciding on fabric and pattern. I don't use kits and love picking out my own fabrics. Patterns i sometimes use or adapt a pattern I like to make it my own.
LOVE to QUILT!!
