For the pleasure of it. The first quilt I make for money, will be the last quilt I make. I would hate to turn something that I love so much into work!

for fun...and for sons and daughters and grand children. I made one it was a sew along butterfly quilt. Boy did I learn from it. Some day I hope I can do another quilt as you go and maybe get it right. It gets harder for me because I am getting more and more arthritis in my hands but I love quilting even if it is simple.

I quilt for fun and relaxation/ I give them away or make them for family. Some to special people some to charity. Whatever suits me at the time. I have made a couple for sale but I only make what I am in the mood for. I tell my husband it is cheaper than therapy. Not sure that is true but I love it.

I quilt for the personal satisfaction it gives when the points, corners and seams match and the colors like great together. I quilt with a couple of groups, this fills my social needs. I quilt with the goal of giving each of my 14 grand children a beautiful quilt when they get married. This doesn't count the ones they get while they are still young. I quilt because I love to sew and it fills that need.

I quilt for charity and gifts and fun. Not good enough to enter into shows and contests.

I started quilting 7 years ago and it is good pain management. When I quilt, I am thinking about what I am making and who I am making it for. I have 17 spinal fusions and had a severely broken upper right arm (pin in for 15 months) and a frozen shoulder (surgery removed as much of the adhesions as possible). Left with limited movement of my right arm. So a friend introduced me to quilting and as I said - it is good pain management and my friends and family benefit from table runners, quilts, etc.

I quilt because for the joy of it. I have made a lot that I have given as gifts, and a lot that I have kept myself. Would not be happy making then to sell, I would worry that everything has to be perfect.It keeps me occupied each evening, when I am sitting alone since my husband passed away. The other reason I keep quilting is because of the wonderful friends I have made in my quilting group.
