I am always amazed at how you can tell a story about each and every quilt you have made. says my friend Louise. This is because my quilts aren't just a hobby, they are my life. Almost every job I have held has been related to sewing. When I make a quilt it is an event in my life. Because they take considerable time to make, each quilt has a history of what is happening in that time period woven into it. I know people who make quilts and it is a labor they resent and they can't wait to get done with it. I have the opposite feeling, when the quilt is finished I have an empty feeling because something I loved doing has come to an end. It is like a good book that you want more of when you get to the last page. I can date a lot of my quilts by what was going on in my life when I was making the quilt. I hope all of you readers love making your quilts too and that they are full of memories.
