Almost all of my quilts go to charity, but I also do a quilt for each new baby in the family. Last year I finished a vintage top for our guest room.

I make things for family, friends, and charity groups. In 2013, I am going to make a couple of quilts for myself too!

I have to be totally honest: I make quilts for ME. Yes, I give some of them away, but the joy of making them is all for me. I started late in the quilting process and it is such a joy for me. I only make quilts that I totally love with the fabrics that I love. Never ever make a quilt just because someone expects it or hints for one. I have had so much fun and I will continue doing it until the day I die. If others just happen to love what I make (and they do), then that's OK, but I will never make a quilt that is expected of me or in fabrics I don't like. Life is just too darn short !

I always start out making them for me, but I have yet to keep a single one! I, like Wanabee, came late to quilting and have become completely addicted. I have only made a dozen quilts and I am most definitely still learning, but it is truly a lifelong passion. I am working on a double irish chain in colors I love and this one is MINE.....probably.LOL

I make them for who ever wants one that is "quilt worthy".

You have to be pretty important to get one from me: I try to make each quilt withe recipient' tastes in mind.
