Lots of love went into making that bag. It's so nice when we can do something special for our parents. Very pretty, Meli.

Darling! Yes, I agree on thin black first border and a final red border. How are those 3-D pinwheels made? Those would be so cute on a baby quilt!

With or without a border, it's lovely. It's one of the quilt designs that looks great either way.

Congratulations on becoming of member of the team!

Happy Birthday, Donna!

Sounds like you are one busy gal! Glad your husband's cast is gone. I'm sure that makes things a bit easier for you both. I do love how relaxing a hobby sewing can be. I really need to start a small...

Sorry to hear you're having such discomfort. Glad you went to see the doctor about it. Hopefully, you can get some help to relieve the symptoms.

It's coming along very nicely! I know you'll be really relieved when it's all done. I've started the necktie quilt! The silks we bought at The Bombay Store are going to work out really well.

No worries, Blondie! I'm not near the trouble. The only trouble I had today was getting my sister to Heathrow to catch her flight back to the states. One wrong decision can sure cause a person a big...

Had lots of fun looking at YouTube cat videos. Thanks, Blondie!

Your quilts are lovely and your nieces certainly are pretty girls. Is that you in the last photo or your sister?

Trimming to size is really ideal as many have mentioned. I also sew right off the edge before sewing the next seam. It's really not necessary to turn the corner. When you press the squares, put them...

Way to go, Katie!

What a pretty baby!

Are you talking about Keurig coffee makers? I looked up Kering and it doesn't seem to fit.

Now I know why I'm a hugger! Prayers for those who are and have been affected by nature's wrath!

Fantastic quilt! Love to see it again when it's completed.

That sounds like the best idea to me. As long as you can be flexible in the size I think it's your best option.

I'd say you are an expert at paper-piecing having completed this quilt! Really cute!

Good grief, Lonna! Can't you take some sick time? Have you talked to work about what's going on with you? I can't imagine they would want you working under these circumstances. I know you can't stay...

I urge everyone to get the shingles shot as soon as you are able. I've known a number of people who have had them. Definitely no fun. I know a woman who got them in her private parts. Can't even...

Pillows are fun to make. My mother used to enjoy making mini-pillows in different patchwork designs. My sis still has Mom's basketful of mini-pillows. When not quilting, I enjoy small projects and...

Now that you've had some good sleep, hopefully the rest will help you with the learning. Good luck!

Kiss, kiss, hug, hug - from me to you, Miss Blondie (even if you do dye your hair! Don't tell anyone but I dye mine too! tee hee.)
