I've been lucky to know a few quilters in my life, and I admire all their hard work in creating beautiful, lasting works of art. There's such a rich tradition of quilting in America (and I'm sure in other countries too) that helps document our history and heritage. As a 'woman's art', quilting has been both a beautiful and practical way of socializing, creating, nurturing, and documenting families and culture. In my family, my Grandfather's niece Fauntie was our 'family quilter'. I think every family should have someone who quilts!
