"I have always loved to sew. I remember, as a little girl, getting a huge bag of left over fabric from my grandmother's fabric stash.  My mom and I along with my 4 sisters, made a family quilt of simple squares. We used yarn to tie the layers together.  It was a beautiful quilt.  This is one of my earliest and fondest memories of quilting.   I find myself reflecting on the profound joy that comes from creating and making quilts for others. I believe every single person should have a special quilt. The softness and warmth of a quilt is comforting, like a hug.  And, wrapping oneself in a quilt can evoke those special feelings of comfort.  Especially, if there are meaningful memories connected to it. I feel very blessed to have the best job in the world.  And to fellow quilters – Thank you for making the world a cozier, more beautiful place, one stitch at a time."
