Quilting is such a challenging craft to master. Not only does it require one to learn how to design a picture with pieces of fabric and thread, but it also requires learning how to use many other skills such as use of sewing machines, use of colors and contrasts, utility of the piece and most importantly learn how to be patient. I love the art of quilting and although I have dedicated much time to do it, I continue to take classes to improve my skills in making traditional and artistic quilts.
