I wrote my own blog post with my thoughts: http://pamelaquilts.blogspot.com/2011/07/why-do-i-quilt.html<br /><br />It really is a special kind of an art, and my life would not be the same without being able to express myself this way.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426113785382986298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643393628218030294.post-26262328260077289602011-07-26T11:01:48.423-04:002011-07-26T11:01:48.423-04:00I quilt because I have a need to do something crea...I quilt because I have a need to do something creative, something tactile. I love being able to give a quilt as a gift to people I love and to people I don't know at all and to see how much it means to them to have something that someone made by hand. This is a great question and a wonderful post!Ann Symeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950069908019770906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643393628218030294.post-61578815057142042502011-07-26T10:51:02.373-04:002011-07-26T10:51:02.373-04:00I have sewn for 50 years, mostly clothing and cost...I have sewn for 50 years, mostly clothing and costuming. It was a natural progression to start quilting when a GF at the time was just starting to quilt too. I had her hand quilt my first top in exchange for baby sitting.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152776147837445526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643393628218030294.post-2462081198167363582011-07-26T10:35:38.498-04:002011-07-26T10:35:38.498-04:00Quilting is the perfect outlet for my creativity. ...Quilting is the perfect outlet for my creativity. I collect beautiful, vividly colored fabrics. I love the challenge of combining fabrics and shapes to create a work of art. I always seem to have more ideas for quilts than I have time to make them, so I expect to keep quilting well into the future.Terry Aske Art Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05688941519915024001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643393628218030294.post-89724609855061628432011-07-26T09:52:22.453-04:002011-07-26T09:52:22.453-04:00I ask myself that too, and my mother also asks.

And, of course, I have to use up this enormous stash of fabric that I've accumulated! :)Gail S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16553108361993482190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643393628218030294.post-67179333558158809682011-07-26T08:08:18.178-04:002011-07-26T08:08:18.178-04:00I quilt to relax, and to enjoy life.
