My inspiration for quilting (and desire to share all things quilting with the world) dates back to days of picnics on the grass, tents in the living room, cold winter days, and Grandma's house -- all of which involved QUILTS! The quilt my great-grandmother hand pieced and hand quilted for me when I was born is still with me today.

My grandmother's scraps from years of sewing and quilting are now mine to adore and incorporate into my own projects!

My mother's hallway closet is stuffed to the ceiling with stacks of heirloom quilts made by my great-grandmothers and grandmothers! And now I am building my own collection, both to keep and pass down!
It's not just fabric to us quilters. It's inspiration. It's love. It's the joy of giving someone a piece of your heart. And that's why I do it.

I want to have a closet full of quilts also. I currently have a few quilts I have made on a quilt rack in my living room and I love to be able to see them. It makes me feel good. Is that weird?
ReplyDeleteNot weird! Awesome! Keep it up, and soon you will fill that closet!
