What is wrong with doing both?
One of my daughters says I will not be taken seriously as an artist if I make blankets!
I AM a serious artist.

Quilting has given me an opportunity to teach and travel in Europe. I love doing that. People enjoy my classes. I had 90 people signed up for my class last year at Quiltitalia's National Conference in Cervia, Italy. Seeing what is going on in Europe regarding textile art has enriched and inspired me as an artist.
Why can't I do both?
Working on one means less time for the other- I understand that.
The time management skills I have honed as a mother of 4 are coming in handy!
