Quilting Is My Therapy - Angela Walters

INTRODUCTION

There is nothing quite like running your hand over a quilt. The feel of the quilting is like music to my soul.

I didn’t grow up with family members that quilted, and I was never crafty—well, at least in the sense of making things. In fact, I failed the sewing machine test in eighth grade home economics … twice. All I had to do was identify the parts of sewing machine; I didn’t have to actually use it! If I am being honest, the only reason I passed the third time was because the teacher finally took pity on me and helped suggest some of the answers. So when I say, If I can do it, anyone can, you can take me at
