In the spirit of Thanksgiving, there are so many things I’m thankful for right now.  I won’t bore you with the details, and I hope that everyone spent time counting blessings last week.  Now it’s time to discuss our quilty blessings.  I was thinking the other day how thankful I am for my rotary cutter.  12 years ago when I first made a quilt I had to trace everything and use scissors.  No shock: it took me 12 years to try again.  Thank you, Rotary Cutter for saving my life.

What quilty tool are you thankful for this year?  I need some ideas for stocking stuffers…

Hello, again!  This Thanksgiving will mark my first year as a quilter, and I’ve spent a lot of time recently reflecting on this year.  First and foremost, I’m thankful for the people I’ve met on this journey.  I’m also indebted to those who inspired me to start quilting: my grandmothers, mother, and Pinterest! 

Which brings me to today’s question – Who, or what, inspired you to start quilting?  I’m always so intrigued by why people started making quilts.
