    BLISS - I have a chronic illness and can't do many things, but making quilts is something I CAN do. This brings me joy! I'm able to use my creativity, my sewing skills, and give to others.

      Same. I’ve become very disabled through my chronic illness and can do so little anymore. Quilting is keeping me sane and helping me feel productive, useful and creative.
      I hope you continue to find joy through your quilting journey and your health journey.

    BLISS! What brings my heart the most joy is donating my time at an assisted living center. Each week I try to take two seniors with me to Sunday church service. I’m currently working on 4 more quilts to gift to 4 people that live there. I’m slowly but surely trying to make sure each and every senior that lives there has a lap quilt to help keep them warm! My boys are all grown and have families of their own. I’m an empty nester and what I enjoy the most is my grand daughter, my dogs, making quilts, and giving back to the community. My late father was in the retirement community that I donate my time at, and I was shocked to how many elderly people either don’t have family or their family doesn’t visit them. It’s actually very sad. Thank you for sharing with us. I always listen to your podcast when I’m in my sewing room sewing. It’s very relaxing to listen to the 3 of you talk. I hope you all have a beautiful day.

    Bliss is the gift of giving. I have been quilting for 30-plus years and have only recently kept a couple quilts for myself. A happy heart comes from the joy of giving. Loved ones, charity, veterans, and the list goes on and on. I once gave a quilt to a little guy who now has passed, but his family sent me a letter saying how much it meant to them knowing someone cared. The little guy took the quilt to all his appointments and hospital stays. So yes, how can it get any better than that.

I retired three years ago and took up quilting again after a 20 year hiatus. Im am so blessed to have re-entered the quilting world and now I am connected by way of the internet to an amazing group of quilters who have taught me so much in such a short period of time. I would love the complete Bliss kit. I have been getting the Fat Quarter boxes for the past few months but need the kit in order to complete the pattern.

    BLISS-
    Quilting has allowed me to appreciate the extraordinary talent of my grandmother. If only I would have taken time to ask more questions rather than rummaging through jars of buttons, separating her mega fabric stash, and picking up all those pesky threads. I was young and just loved our time together. The love for strings/loose threads is long gone. 😂
    I like to think I got my creative side from her and my passion for quilting and crochet. Forever grateful! ❤️

    BLISS - what brings me joy in quilting is ALL OF IT!!!! I love to cut material. I love to put the Alphabitties on the pieces as I cut them. I love to watch TV as I get some of the piecing set up for sewing the next morning. I love to press the work and put it under the clappers to flatten the work. I love sizing up the Flying Geese and then looking at them and how great they look with my specialty ruler. And I just love it when the quilt is done and I can enjoy the work! I LOVE IT ALL!!!! Once again, great show. So glad Regal Pines is ready.
