An artists eye and the ability to take pieces of fabric and turn them into beautifully designed quilts is a talent I was not born with. But I do so enjoy admiring the work of those special people that do. Just the same, I really enjoy piecing and hand quilting using patterns designed by someone else. Because I can choose my own fabrics, and I feel like they usually come together well, I feel like I have a wee bit of 'artist' in me. Though I could never achieve the level of the award winners, my quilt gifts have always been admired, so I feel good about that. My quilts make me happy.
