When I first got the quilting bug I tool a reversable quilt class and actually finished it. My husband who is now deceased loved it and it has been forever know Boots quilt. One of his daughters really wants it but I refuse to give it up. When I die I want it to be burried with me. It reminds me of him. I told her I would make her one but she wants that one. To bad, it's mine. I have many other kits and fabric that I like but have them to give to other family members. Maby one day when I retire I will get some made.

Yes. I made a queen size quilt, all applique in yellows and purples, and loved it so much I decided I was keeping it. The label says "This one's for Me". We make quilts for family and friends and for donations. We deserve to have a quilt or quilts for ourselves.

I've mostly ever made baby blankets/quilts for grandkids, neices, nephews, ect. Now i'm actually teaching myself to peice quilt and I decided I need to make at least one for me. So while I have a number of tops done waiting to be quilted, the Bargello im currently working on, beggining stage, is for me, me, me! :-D

Hard to cut into the really pretty stuff, but since seems like I end up w/ a little extra fab or a few extra squares, that can go to a small wallhanging to decorate the room, still get to enjoy what normally gets given-a-way.
Did make one for another use not long ago, but have used twice... so guess I get to keep, for a car throw :)
Definately make something just for you!!

It's definitely going to be more appreciated now that it's not sitting on a shelf in my sewing room! :)
