The Stars in the movie world will be out tonight because it is Academy Awards night.
Last year when War Horse was nominated, there may have been some “chomping at the bit.”
This year, probably nail biting, hand-wringing, and breath-holding are more in order.
And when the evening is over, there will be jubilation as well as disappointment.
Yet everyone involved in making a movie – almost any movie – should be proud of the effort put forth, and the fact that the piece was finished and viewing it brought moments of pleasure to those who took the time to watch.
And so it is with quilts. Most quilters don’t enter their quilts into shows, or get nominated for some
kind of award.
Yet, we can all be proud of our finished quilts because they are an expression of our love of our craft, and – maybe more importantly – the love of the people we create them for. It brings us happiness knowing that our quilt will bring comfort and warmth to those we love and care about.
Whether we are creating a quilt to celebrate a life event, such as a wedding or birth, or creating a quilt simply for a loved one to enjoy, our quilts are a big hit.
