Thanks for the compliment on the flying geese! I use the E B ruler and love it! They come out perfect every time!

Hi Pat, thanks so much for your message. Today started out okay but ended kind of rough. Scott,thats my sig. other had to go to his dads ro help clear away some ice and snow that were causing issues. And he said he wanted to talk to his dad. Then made mention a few times via email about how he wasnt sure what the future held. I started to get angry because i feel like he is not committed to making things work and is just leaving me hanging. I told him that maybe we needed to separate for a bit but that means telling Liam and neither of us are willing to do that just yet. So now I am just sad that it has all come to this. And I am getting more and more concerned about my ability to cope. I am trying to stay as positive as I can but not having him here even one night is hard. Anyway....it is difficult for me to talk right now without crying and Liam is buzzing around so I should probably stop. Thanks for checking in. You are very kind. Wend

Just was so impressed with your album, your quilts are beautiful

Well, The book only gives a single block and shows it as shaded areas of a grid...like if I were designing a block on graph paper. I would have to enlarge it and then I'd be on my own to put it together. There are no instructions. I don't think it will be terribly hard, but I just need to think about the easiest way to to sew all the pieces together. That's okay...I love a challenge.

Yay! Mimi, I found "Trees in the Park!" I have a book called The New Quilting and Patchwork Dictionary that I bought back in the 80's and I found it in there! I love that quilt so I've put it on my list of quilts to make. Thanks for sharing your Mom's quilts with us. Hugs.

I checked out your album and your quilts are lovely. YOu do wonderful work.

Thanks for the comment on the patriotic teddy bear fabric. To tell you the truth I can't remember where I got it. But since I have never bought online I can say it had to have been either Joanne's or Wal-Mart and at least 11 or 12 years ago. I wish I had a few yards of it and I would send you a yard, but I don't. At the time I was making little girl dresses for a friend's daughter to start Kindergarten. If I come across any like it or similar I will try to snatch it up and then let you know I have it.

New swap is posted! REVERSED Jacobs Ladder ...Neutral tone on tone ladders with bright happy flowered backgrounds. capped at 25 players - would you like to play?

Pat, Your quilts are so pretty. I really like the bright colors w/dots and the purple & turquoise quilt. Beautiful work!

Hi Pat, thanks for your kind comments. There originally was a machine on the table, but I pulled it to bits to try and fix it, and needlesss to say it stayed in bits. I love the table - spent many hours rust ridding it and painting it in a high gloss black. The topper is hand pieced, it was an ongoing project for many years and I only just decided I had the right place for it, so finished it and I added the lace, think it works well.
