Why Quilting Matters

“Quilting fills my heart with joy. When I sew for someone, I think about them with every stitch.” — Angie Spielman

“Teaching quilting feeds my soul. My quilts are meant to be loved and used, not saved for ‘someday.’” — Liz Granberg-Jerome

“Quilting is my mental health therapy.” — Florence Milliman
