STOP .... Right there ... Maam. You assume I want to leave a legacy .... I have no such intentions...or desires. My wish that that every quilt I make is consumed in MY lifetime.... leave none for the people who never knew me. Let no quilt be stored on a shelf ... Viewed only when reorganizing or spring cleaning .
One of my quilts have over a thousand hours in the piecing .... and I especially wish that it be consumed by the person whom I lovingly made it for.
