Photo of My Batik Layer Cake Quilt
The #IGQuiltFest2021 prompt for the day is
"Why do you quilt?"
This is something I could write volumes about,
but choosing a photo to represent what I have to say is more difficult.
My reasons are
1) I love to create.
"cre-ate verb ... to bring (something) into existence"
2) Life is Beautiful ~ One Stitch at a Time
3) I love fabric and color.
4) I love to make the world a warmer place, one quilt at a time.
5) I quilt because I am happy.

Today I also want to share and celebrate the creativity of this lovely young woman.
Jess is my son, Matt's, other half.
and loves to knit as much as I love to quilt.
Jess is a wonder woman knitter.
When I asked Jess for a certain size headband so I could wear it over my ears to keep my them warm and my hair back when I am outside in the cold, she made me this lovely headband.
I love it!

That pillow cover you made is gorgeous, upcycling or not.
How nice that Jesse found her niche in the creative arts. Her knitting is wonderful; good for her to have a shop too.
I like that definition of create.
Congratulations to Jesse and her little shop - I hope it does well for her! I relate to all of your thoughts on creating. Thanks for another fun post!
Hi,
I envy Jesse, I've wanted to learn to knit for years, but I've
tried and can't get the hang of it. I guess I've too used to
crochet hooks. I really like all reasons for quilting.
Have a great day!
Hi Pat! Thanks for sharing all about why you quilt. It is a wonderful hobby to have. Also, thanks for sharing Jess's information. She does beautiful work and I will check out her shop. ~smile~ Roseanne
Creating is such a wonderful thing. Jesse's items are pretty.
