\n<\/TABLE>About 50 quilts of various sizes later, you could say the clinical authorization representative in the Munroe-Meyer Institute found that hobby she was after.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is quilting?<\/B><\/p>\n

The action of quilting is the sewing of a design through all the layers to create the overall quilting effect on the quilt. The quilting keeps the layers from shifting. The quilting process can be done by hand or machine. <\/p>\n

All quilts consist of three layers:
\n

  • The backing, which is usually plain fabric;
    \n
  • The batting or middle layer, which gives it thickness and warmth; and
    \n
  • The top layer, which is usually pieced together to create the pattern of the whole quilt.<\/UL> <\/p>\n

    What do you enjoy about quilting? <\/B><\/p>\n

    I love going to the quilt shop and finding the right fabric to make the top. I like the challenge of piecing the top together and then quilting it by hand. It’s very relaxing. Quilting, however, is not a quick project.<\/p>\n

    What do you do with your quilts when you finish making them? <\/B><\/p>\n

    Usually give them away. I’ve been making quilts for each of my six brothers and sisters. I have one left to do. I make quilts for my grandchildren and as gifts for new babies. I also do what I call “chemo” quilts for friends who are going through cancer treatments. I’ve donated some to my church and the JP Lord School to raffle off. I’ve made a quilt for a wounded soldier and have one hanging in my office. I don’t need an excuse to make quilts. I just keep sewing. Someone will want it.<\/p>\n

    Describe your best quilting experience.<\/B><\/p>\n

    Just recently my six year old grandson thought he could make a quilt on construction paper. His “quilt” is still taped to the wall in our living room and my quilted version of it is hanging in his bedroom. Kids love quilts.<\/p>\n

    What is something most people don’t know about quilting? <\/B><\/p>\n

    How satisfying it is. Most people think in terms of how much work it takes. Quilts aren’t old-fashioned anymore. They can be vibrant pieces of art. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
