Why We Do We Make Quilts?

One of the best things about learning free motion quilting is using the skill to complete personal projects that provide comfort for loved ones. "Amanda's Comfort Quilt" is special. The fidget quilt I made for my mother, Amanda, provided sensory activities that reduced her anxiety during her declining years with Dementia. Free motion quilting started when I encountered quilting stencil designs. More experienced quilters me told it was too difficult and don't even try.

I was determined to learn free motion quilting so I could, finish more quilts, quilt stencil designs and save money. Paying a longarm quilter hundreds of dollars for each quilt was not in my budget. I am so glad I did not allow the fear others have with learning free motion quilting stop me from learning. It has allowed me to complete quilts for teen orphans in Uganda, newborns in Israel, Christmas gifts for seniors without families living in nursing homes, babies in intensive care units and so much more.
