Mostly they are for me. But I am gradually getting into making gifts. It's hard because I pick patterms and fabric I like, and I don't want to give it away! LOL

I start to make patterns I like, and then leave them as top till I find a home for them....I personilzed them if going to friend or family member by putting a backing on them they might like or their colors...I give a lot of tops to our church ladies to tie...We donate about 150 a year, so I stay busy

I have one on each of the guest beds and I kept my first one (a king size one, I am a NUT to have started with that big one).......all of the rest have been as gifts or charity.......I love to surprise a friend by just mailing a box to them, and they get a quilt, very unexpectedly....I made one for Mother's Day for my band director's mom (who is semi-invalid)..told her I had to borrow her mom, since I dont have mine any longer.... gave her mom quite a surprise....that is always fun.......I do lots for LINUS and am doing 3 for Quilts of Valor right now. Have also done for Quilts for Kids a couple of times. There is such a need in our world for HUGS.

I usually make quilts for family members. I have a few in the works for myself but they seem to get set aside when I have a reason to make one for someone else. I like to feel that a part of me is living with my family.

So far I have given everyone of them away. But then again everyone has been made specificly for some one. I keep promising my self to make one for my own. But one of the things on my "Bucket List" is to make sure all of my 5 children and their significant others and my grand children,6 almost 7,so far, have a quilt.I'd also like to make one for each of my siblings, of which I have 7. I've made several for my mother.
