As a quilter, I alway try to make each project my own, even if I’m using another person’s pattern. I first started doing this in 1991 when I became a longarm quilter. At the time, the tagline for my longarm quilting service was: Every quilt is made from the heart. I would stitch a couple of small hearts into each quilt, making the work I had done a little more personal. Often, my clients would ask, “Where are the hearts?” They seemed to enjoy that final embellishing touch as much as I did!
