I quilt because I need absolutely no reason to do it. It's totally optional. It's an outlet for creativity or I need a gift or I'm just in the mood. But, most of all cuz I don't need a reason. :)

I quilt for gifts that are to be used every day. It is fun to do and I like to see the expression on their faces when they open up the quilts.

I quilt because it's fun! And the time spent in front of the sewing machine is therapy for me....a great stress reliever. I make quilts for my family, for me, for whoever wants one. Just keeping up with the grandkids keeps me busy (5 down 4 to go). I don't quilt to show, not that good.
