I’ve been quilting on and off for decades.. my experience is simple… as most I have made most for gifts… the joy was in the journey and the giving… learning new techniques and not being hard on myself if my work was less than perfect.

I used to make garments at home. Then I decided to try a quilt - this being back in the dark ages of quilting, late 1970s. I got hooked so fast it was pathetic. I have now made dozens of quilts and they have all been given away. One of these days I need to make myself one.

My most profound quilting experience involved a quilt I had made for my grandmother’s 90th birthday. She loved the quilt so much, a queen sized hand appliqued quilt, each block representing something important in her life. When she passed away my parents adopted the quilt and used it on their bed. On May 31st, 2007 my mother called early in the morning. My father did not wake up that morning, he was gone, it was a terrible loss for me. My mother eased my pain a bit by telling me that she had sent the quilt with him so he could be wrapped in it when he was cremated. I know this is rather morbid but it gave me great joy to know that he was wrapped with my love, I felt close to him and I was honored that my quilt was with him.

I have been sewing/quilting for over 30 years. My great grandmother taught me to quilt. My grandmother made quilts for each of her grandkids. To honor her on one of her birthdays — we put together Grandma’s Quilt Show in the very small town (approx. population = 300) she lived in. We sent an invitation to all family members to bring all the quilts Grandma had made — no matter how tattered and torn. We hung them all up in the Senior Center for display and advertised a birthday luncheon for community members to attend. I believe it was for her 81st birthday. She has been gone now for almost five years. I am so glad we made a special day for her. Miss you Grandma. Thanks for teaching me to quilt.

I feel very calm and peaceful while I’m quilting. It’s almost like meditation/prayer. I don’t think I’ve ever had quite the same feeling. Must be God at work. Of course, this does not mean all my quilts turn out wonderful. I’ve done a lot of “reverse sewing.”

I have found that quilting “centers” me. If I don’t quilt a little bit every day, I am a mess. It’s an opportunity to sit quietly and listen for that “still small voice.” Of course, there are those times (like last night) when nothing I touched seemed to work. I look at those times as God telling me to slow down, don’t do anything, and just relax. Good post.

I just started quilting with help from a friend. There’s a store that does a quilt block a month so I have my first block and am working on that. It’s pretty therapeutic to work on it, I have to admit.

I have never quilted…I want to some day. Right now i enjoy some embroidery. I like how you can see the piece take shape…little by little. There is instant gratification and delayed gratification all in one!

Honestly I’ve only made one quilt. It was for my daughter’s crib bedding. I had absolutely no pattern to go by I just decide to wing it. Naturally I do have sewing skills so it was just a matter of getting my math right. I was off just a hair and for my first quilt it turned out fabulous! I was the only one that noticed the mistakes.

My mother would love this! She is an avid quilter. She has made countless quilts…all so beautiful. I learned to quilt from her.

I keep buying fabric and quilt books, but I’m nervous about starting a project. I’m thinking of taking a class to get me feet wet.

One of my favorite quilted pieces that I have made is a rectangular star using flag fabric as the center. It brings a smile to my face each time I look at it.

I love textiles! In addition to garment fabric (I started sewing in 5th grade) and an immense stash of quilting cotton (I’ve been a serious quiltmaker since the early 90’s), I also collect vintage linens: tablecloths, dishtowels, aprons, embroidered pieces. Quiltmaking allows me to develop (and indulge) my creative side while assuring my practical side that I am doing something useful, whether bedcoverings or wallhangings, or pieced garments/accessories.

This sounds wonderful. I have not done much with making fabric art myself, but I love to look at other people’s work.
Thanks for the opportunity!

My mother and grandmother were the quilters in my family. I never learned to make them, but love the old quilts that I have.

Another lovely book I would love to read!
I am a beginner quilter - I especially love anything blue and white or primitive colors. I enjoy browsing the quilt store and looking at all of the beautiful fabrics.
Thank you for your wonderful giveaways!

I am just starting my first quilt as a Christmas present for my 11 year old son. It is going to be as unique as he is with a variety of different fabrics and none that necessarily go together.
