"This quilt took me 1 1/2 years to complete and was meant as a therapy project. I have always been known for my longarm quilting, buy when my husband passed away I found that I had lost the passion for that. In trying to find my way, I decided to design and make a quilt just for me with no time schedule. That was a first since I started competing in 2002 - there was always a deadline and the quilt was never just a quilt for me. I didn't think I would ever enter this quilt but when it was nearing completion I decided it might be good enough to try. Besides, my husband loved it when I was competing. I think he enjoyed my wins more than I did."
