 What is a Quilt?
Quilts are not only beautiful works of art, they are meant to be used.
A quilt is something that serves not only to make a home beautiful, but needs to be able to withstand the practical use of everyday life that a blanket is subjected to. Quilts are meant to keep
our loved ones warm and to be tucked in the car for long trips.
It
is always my assumption that every quilt I make will not merely be
loved, but be well loved. That the quilt will be loved in the manner of a comfortable friend that
is curled up with to watch a good movie. With that in mind, I
strive to make sure that my quilts are as washable as possible given
the materials and varying needs of each quilt. If I do my job right,
and the quilt owner cares for the quilt properly, then it should be
the kind of quilt that a young child can lay on to daydream on the grass,
then toss around their dorm room, take to outdoor concerts and picnics, wrap their children and
grandchildren in as they grow, and wrap around themselves in their
senior years before passing it down to generations to come.
That is
the mindset I approach every quilt project from.
The Skyfire Quilting Online Storefront will be opening soon,
in the meantime look for Skyfire Quilting quilts at the Houston Saturday Market throughout the summer.
