HOW MANY QUILTS
-Author Unknown
After being asked how many quilts I've made, who I'm making this one for, or that one for, or why, and how many quilts do I think I need.
I came to the following conclusion:
I am a creator, an artist, just as much as a painter is ....
Does anyone ask the painter who she is painting for or why she is painting yet another landscape?
How many canvases or paintings does she need? NO!
Does a painter stop wanting to paint because she has reached some number that symbolizes the end of the need to paint? "Okay that's 100, I'm done now ....."
I create because I am driven to create. My medium just happens to be fabric and thread, instead of oil and canvas .....
But I create for the same reason ..... to express myself, to share myself, to experiment ....
Even if the quilt doesn't have a purpose, a recipient, a reason.
Quilting is my voice.
I quilt, therefore I am.
