My Quilts

When I took my first quilting class the instructor told us the most important thing to do with your quilt is sign it and better yet to tell it's story. Why was it made, what was it made with, who was it made for and how should it be taken care of. Since quilts in later years end up as heirlooms she made a point that generations to come will want to know the story when they come across the quilt. For me naming quilts and telling their stories is easy. I could make a quilt for almost anyone I know because I am so intrigued with people's stories that I tend to be able to pinpoint something special about them that gives me a creative spark. So as you look at each of my quilts you will know it's story.
