I have been sewing since I was a preteen. The great part about quilting compared to garmet sewing etc. is that there is no fitting involved. I have done my share of garmet sewing over the years. The most recent big project I did in that regard was the dresses for the two flower girls and the junior bridesmaid in my daughter's wedding. I also have made plenty of curtins etc. I make at least 20 Linus quilts a month. Quilting allows me to enjoy choosing fabrics and working with them without the pressure of what it will look like on a person's body. The Linus quilts allow me to work with childish prints that my grandchildren have long outgrown. I don't personally need another quilt in my home so making them for others allows me to pursue my hobby.
