They were true gifts of love and my own children now have some of those quilts and feel the same love though they never knew her personally. That is what inspires me to quilt, especially for my grandchildren.<br /><br />laurelgj(at)aol(dot)comLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01025717749020051626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505296206998419312.post-66858712030287449362013-05-05T17:37:36.347-05:002013-05-05T17:37:36.347-05:00Quilting is like painting with fabric and thread. ...Quilting is like painting with fabric and thread.

I usually start with fabric for inspiration, but I have to say that the people I've met along the way have been an inspiration too. To "oh and ah" over someone else's work, suggest an idea or help solve a problem, or just stick my nose in someone else's project (gasp! I can't keep my mouth shut in a quilt shop.) keeps the creative juices flowing. Congrats on the new book.
