I have taken up quilting again after 20 years of “life.” It has
become such a wonderful way to rid myself of stress and strife.
Picking colors, designing the layout, and seeing the finished
quilt all come together is marvelous therapy!
My only wish is that I could learn how to do borders!!! Those tricky
little edges that make a good quilt great! There are so many techniques
to master, I could just take one at a time, until I felt I had truly
accomplished my goal.
