We all need inspiration from time and time and these words from Helen's presentation during her induction into the Quilter's Hall of Fame, just might be what you need to hear.

February 28, 2009 

These are the life lessons you and quilting have taught me: 

Love your craft.  Be proud of tiny stitches.  Respect tradition.  But learn something new, try something hard, make a new tradition.  Then pass it on the next generation .

See things with different eyes.  Look for the small treasures.   Find the happiness and solace in your work. 

Share your passion. Quilt with a friend, or friends, or many friends.  Be generous  with your time, your advice, your praise, your ideas, your fabric.   There is joy in giving something from your heart.  It comes back to you many-fold. 

The quilt you are working on is never your last quilt.   But some projects seem to go on forever.  Know when enough is enough.  Don’t obsess over the stuff that doesn’t matter. 

Tell your story.  Embellish it a little. 

Always Have fun.   And keep the magic in your life.
