I've been on Lopez almost 50 years but have made most of my quilts in this century. For me, quilting is all about the colors. Making quilts is something I feel is both art and craft. Planning the design and choosing the fabrics and colors is a creative outlet. I find the repetitive acts of cutting and sewing meditative. Many quilters make their quilt tops and send them out to be quilted by a professional. I do all my own work.
