I have had some in shows.. even won two ribbons, but mostly I make quilts to give to my family, and to use.. I've said they will the thing I have that my kids will remember me by.. I hope they go for generations. I make quilts because they are beautiful.. they keep my hands and my mind busy.. they keep me moving on.. and they are wonderful to cuddle under. My grandkids love to cuddle up on my couch with a quilt and a cup of tea.. They are creative enough to satisify my need to make something beutiful.. they are a gift to me and to those I give them to... I also do chairty quilts because everyone should have a wonderful quilt to wrap up in..
