Elaine Hollis attributes her interest in making quilts to a sense of Christian responsibility for using and sharing her talents. She cites her reasons for quilting: "Relaxation. Creativity. Spirituality. Being able to leave somewhat of a legacy. Being able to use one of the talents that I received from God."
