    BLISS - I have a chronic illness and can't do many things, but making quilts is something I CAN do. This brings me joy! I'm able to use my creativity, my sewing skills, and give to others.

      I hope you continue to find joy through your quilting journey and your health journey.

    Bliss is certainly a perfect name for that quilt, it just makes me feel happy! Thank you for all the lovely things you create and share with us! I love the Drunkards Path quilt pattern. I find that I like the smaller varieties best. My Grandmother made one years and years ago that was done in red and white. I have seen some done 'scrappy', but my favorites are the ones done in two colors....the ones where I can more readily see the 'path'. Thank you Sherri, Chelsea and Billy....I had lots of fun today!!!

    Bliss is the gift of giving. I have been quilting for 30-plus years and have only recently kept a couple quilts for myself. A happy heart comes from the joy of giving. Loved ones, charity, veterans, and the list goes on and on. I once gave a quilt to a little guy who now has passed, but his family sent me a letter saying how much it meant to them knowing someone cared. The little guy took the quilt to all his appointments and hospital stays. So yes, how can it get any better than that.
