I recently found myself in a real lemon of a

quilting experience--I needed to unpick all of the


quilting from a fairly large quilt. I fretted, I cried,
and more than anything, I was frustrated that
a quilt I had once loved so much, would likely
always be associated with negative feelings.
But I was wrong. The un-picking party that
filled my house with the sweetest of friends
(and the yummiest of cheesecake) ended up
infusing the quilt with sweeter memories than I
could ever have put into it myself. I think thats
what I love most about quilting--it brings people
together. When life gets sour, quilters can be the
sweetener that turns lemons into lemonade.
