On October 18 2011 I took a hesitant step toward making my first quilt. I signed up for a basic sewing class at my local quilt shop thinking that maybe I would learn enough to have the courage to try. I remember that the teacher said, “if you can sew a straight line you can make a quilt,” and that was exactly the nudge I needed. That day ten years ago changed my life in so many ways, and while it feels dramatic to write, it’s absolutely true to say that quilting saved me. In my current life I am constantly filled with gratitude for this creative practice. I’m grateful for the soft space it gives me to think and feel and explore hard truths, the ways it has opened me up and helped me grow, and all of the inspiring people I’ve met along the way.
