  157. I came to quilting eight years ago when I retired, but I had been dreaming about being a quilter since I visited my husband's aunt's home in Americus, Georgia twenty five years ago. I could not believe I got to sleep with a quilt on the bed and several hanging from the quilt stand and armoire. So I started taking quilting classes at a local quilt shop and made several great friends along the way. Quilting has given me the joy and confidence to express my love for others in a tangible way.

  168. I love that quilting is not only a creative outlet, but it also brings people together in so many ways. Those that we quilt with, gift a quilt to and meet along our quilting journey. This year my mother gave me Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage Book for my birthday and I also started Pat Sloan's Splendid Sampler QAL and I have not done anything in years, but these two things have really sparked me and gotten me on track. I had no stash to pull from, so I am building that and enjoying the time spent quilting with my mother and others at or LQS BOM class for Farm Girl Vintage. This is definitely a quilty year for me!

  171. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle, with something to show for it that you can give to friends & family. I enjoy meeting with my quilt group and sharing ideas.

  181. Colour me beautiful! I love colours so one of my favourite parts of quilting is selecting fabrics for my next project. Getting to play with the fabrics and auditioning each for blocks is also fun!

  184. I mostly make quilts that I give away to special people in my life. It's like I'm giving them a small part of myself. Quilting is my way of making the world a more beautiful, and warmer, place. I give the gift of a hug on demand -- they just have to wrap themselves in the quilt to receive it.

  185. I can't believe there was ever a time when I did not quilt! I have sewn my entire life and enjoyed it but never to the extent that I love quilting. It fills my days, my nights, and my dreams. Fat Quarter Shop has been part of that for many many years. Thank you!

  189. Oh my goodness. What DON'T I love about quilting. Love buying the fabric, deciding which quilt is next, what to FMQ on it, making a cute label and best of all, looking at and touching the finished quilt. Such a relaxing and fulfilling craft.

  195. Oh, goodness, what don't I love about quilting! I love reading about it, thinking about it, and looking at quilt photos. I love planning for making quilts, shopping for fabrics, trying new techniques, and dreaming about quilting. I love cutting fabrics, piecing, sewing applique, and sharing the finished product. Quilting brings joy and happiness to my life (and, I hope it brings happiness and comfort to the lives of the recipients).
