Seeing all of the quilters that have make quilts to donate to wonderful causes helps spread the joy of making quilts for such projects to other quilters. I for one had been so busy working full time, family quilts, home renovations going on etc that I was an ‘outsider looking in’. Lurking so to speak until my time would come that I could add making quilts for donations. I retired after 53 years of nursing to end up having a few injuries which set me back for two years. Now, I am finally 1. Have the time. 2. Am all healed up so I can sew again. I signed up for our local Adult Education program which is running a 10 week day session of 4 hours. Yahoo, I have already cut and prepared 2 quilts to start these sessions... yes for community donations. And starting in January I already signed up for the Quilts of Valor sessions at the Adult Ed. Thought it would be fun to spend time with other quilters. I even treated myself to a quilters’ trolley for my machine and all quilting supplies. Very excited as I am about to start this new journey,
