Years ago, when I first moved to Ottawa, one of the first things I did was sign up for quilting lessons. This ended up being a great decision. I was stressed and disoriented from leaving a bad relationship and moving to a new city, and quilting gave me a way to focus my brain and body during the long hours I spent in my dark apartment by myself. It also became very handy in the ensuing years, when I was working a series of low paying service industry and daycare jobs. Because I was in my twenties, friends were getting married and some were even having babies. Making quilts was a way to give a meaningful gift that cost me time, instead of money. I had lots of time.
