Sandra's Soapbox

I'm on my soapbox today.  I know Christa has a regular "Christa's Soapbox" on her blog, a feature that I do enjoy reading.  I am not starting a regular thing, nor am I copying her, but a couple of things spurred me on to writing this post on a topic that has niggled at me for oh, probably years.


"Who do you make your quilts for?"  "What do you do with all your quilts?"  "Why do you make so many quilts?"

I've been asked these questions many times over the years.  And I often feel a twinge of guilt when I respond:

"For myself."

"Some I give away."

"I love to drape them over chairs, over a bed, hang them on a wall."

"I sleep under 2 or 3 in the summer months, and 4 or 5 when it's colder."

"I just do."  (make them)

" I love to play with fabric, love to sew, love to play with colour, try different patterns."

A lovely pile of some of my quilts!
