Being new to quilting one facet of quilting that fascinates me is the ability of a homemade blanket to act like a perpetual hug. A quilt, by design, brings warmth but also sends a clear message of love.
A comfort quilt is made at a time when someone needs comfort. Simple as that. They can be made by one person or a group of people. They can be given to a friend, loved one or even a stranger.
Any quilt is a gift of time and money. Believe me I've found both of these to be true. Making a quilt seems like a very logical, step by step thing to do. It is. It's also a creative project involving a hundred little choices that the recipient may not even notice - stitch style, colour values, size of the blocks etc..,
If you've ever received a quilt, for any reason, pick up the phone and call that person and thank them again. You have been given something priceless.
I will be sharing with you a comfort quilt project that I am currently working on. This entire experience has been wonderful on so many levels. It serves as a reminder to me of all that women can be - loving, nurturing, generous and strong.
I want to share with you the evolution of Danny's quilt.
