For me it's a way to create and show how much I care in the same thing. My sister could draw, my older brother was a stone mason and taught my youngest brother the art, my second brother inherited my mothers talent of playing any musical instrument he picked up. I've sewn since I was 8 and didn't realize it was a talent until I started quilting seriously about 15 years ago. It makes me happy when I gift a quilt and it makes the recipient happy when they get it.
