I agree with Aurora. I don't quilt much, except for raggedy quilts, but I sew many other items for home dec and garment sew. Plus I knit and crochet, all the time. Have made oodles of afghans, for birthdays, Christmas, weddings and babies. My heart tells me who I needle or hook things for.
One of my baby afghans came back to me for repair, 18 years later, the 'child' wanted me to fix the hole, so she could take it with her to college. I'm so glad I gifted those parents with that blanket years ago, even though they weren't 'close' friends.
