I Love to Quilt!
I started quilting as a teenager to make my brother's each a wedding gift. Those first attempts were memorable to say the least, but ugh, that's all I'll say. I have since made a quilt for each of my family members and also some for friends. I don't think I will ever sell my quilts though, because that would increase my stress level.
The main secret for quilting for fun, and not getting stressed out, for me anyway, has been to choose patterns that I love, and not to demand perfection.
A Day at The Quilt Show
The quilts I saw at the Hampton Roads convention center in Virginia on Feb 23, 2008 were so amazing and quite inspiring!
