To Mom
who always told me I should be writing; this is for you.
I will always treasure the moment I found out that this book proposal had been accepted, and how that news brought sunny smiles and congratulations from you, even through the fogs of dementia and painkillers. It was a magical moment I will always remember.
Mom, this dedication comes laced with deep appreciation for showing us all how to walk through the door to the life beyond this one with extraordinary grace.

When life is so hectic that six minutes feels like too much time to invest in microwaving dinner, few of us can find the leisure time for quilting that our grandmothers enjoyed. Yet, we still have the same heartfelt desires to make quilts for our loved ones and for community service projects. But how can we ever stitch enough quilts for everyone? Adopting clever timesaving techniques makes it possible!
Being a mom of eight motivated me to develop fast methods so that my limited time for quilting would be as fun and effective as possible. I developed the beginnings of my 90-Minute Quilts techniques in 1984 in order to teach my 7-year-old how to make her first quilt, which she delightedly exhibited in my guild's annual show. Today, I'm thrilled to use these speedy techniques to make 90-Minute Quilts for my grandbabies. These cheerful little quilts are fun, fast and washable. And if they get stained or worn out, I just stitch up a replacement in an hour and a half!
Quilters familiar with my complex fiber art over the last couple of decades have been surprised to find me dancing at the other end of the spectrum. And yet, viewed from the perspective of balance, it doesn't seem so odd. After spending months on a fashion show ensemble or commissioned fiber art with thousands of pieces, taking a day off to complete a few 90-Minute Quilts can be very satisfying, allowing me to return to my main project with renewed enthusiasm. In fact, while many beginning quilters love my 90-Minute Quilts classes, experienced quilters do, too. Haunted by their UFOs under the bed, they are thrilled to find a project they can finish in a flash!
And in these uncertain times, people are turning toward the reassurances of the homespun crafts from their childhood memories. Both making and receiving quilts contribute toward soothing concerns about an ever-changing world. After all, quilts aren't called comforters for nothing!
