Quilting has been a passion for me for the last 3 years.  This is from a girl who never wanted to sew, period!!  I really did NOT like ironing or MATH either.  God is smiling at this point:)  Back to present, I made 2 other quilts before this one,smaller ones.  What a stress reliever and an eye opener--"I am creative."  I love ironing (yes I said that),choosing fabrics,cutting it up and with my OWN hands I am making something new.

Tessellation top complete!

 This is the quilt that had me bolt into more projects--more TWIN size quilts!  See I used to think if I ever made a quilt it would take forever.  SURPRISE!!!  I started this quilt top and had it all cut out out and then pieced pretty quickly.  Think I was hooked??

There were trials along the way, but when this quilt was finished, AND sitting in my home AND on my bed, I was a happy camper.   A learning experience, I haven chosen to repeat over and over again.  This is what God had planned for me:)  Maybe a little corny, but quilting makes me smile EVERY day in some way.  

 
How's that for a hobby?? :)

The colors are so powerful and uplifting for me.  And I get to choose how they will be used!
I.E.  The yellow and blue in this quilt just make my heart sing every time I look at it!  Also, the ways in which I can quilt it are so endless.  In this particular one I did stitch in the ditch.  Since then I have tried other techniques as well because--well--it's fun and gets my creative side revved up!
