I quilt because I like to because it keeps me from getting so lonely because my bead addiction was way out of hand price wise when I spend 200 on fabric it keeps me busy for a long time when I spend 200 in beads I can use them up in 2 days sometimes now I dont spend $10-15 on 1 bead I still bead but mostly on wall hanging and because I want to leave my grandchildren something to remember me by
