And before anyone else says I do great work let me share what I just finished. Wanted to learn to do some different embroidery designs so I used the opportunity to spiff up the guest bathroom.

Cyn, I appreciate the offer but I quilt to calm my mental demons, not to make money. If I do find something that mentally inspires around that, I'd be more than happy to make it for your sister, free. That's the rules.

Wow, but, the materials!

lol, talented in many ways. I have a daughter on law that is just starting to learn cross stitch. Have to show her this.

I think all my quilts have been free except one. I didn't enjoy getting paid for it, to me that seemed like too much pressure to make what she wanted and not enough creative freedom to just do what pleases me.

I worry about whether they'll like it rather than enjoying the process. That's a big change for me because I do this to calm my brain, not to stress out.

I think that quilt is fantastic, like everything you make. The people who were to be the recipients are obviously heartless, thoughtless, and blind.

I can understand how SGC feels.

The one God given talent that I possess that I am very proud of is that I am an artist. I draw, do ink, watercolor, acrylics but my love is pencil. I gave my niece several of my pieces of work. She was an art student at the time and admonished me greatly for choosing a career in medicine over a career in art. She told me that I was gifted and with college training I would have been great. I just shook my head and told her that I earned my living as a nurse. My passion was my art. I never wanted to earn a living doing what to me was a pleasure, namely art. Yes, I've sold pieces here and there, but nothing tops the joy I get personally when I create on paper, things I love to draw.
