Its funny - I heard someone in a store telling a customer something that was really wrong, but I just zipped my mouth. Sometimes teachers are not as prepared as they should be - I always try to have made something before I teach a class! I’ll get on this bandwagon one day and tell some stories too!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621591443896350515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-79498378488890101632018-02-02T16:46:55.337-05:002018-02-02T16:46:55.337-05:00Old quilts tell the best stories.

A Christmas tree skirt is a wonderful place to go all <br />lame' and ruffles and foofy folderol, isn't it? I suspect Bella likes it because she is naturally foofy. Maybe it reminds of her of dear departed Grandmama!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-1926971924886789292018-02-02T14:53:50.942-05:002018-02-02T14:53:50.942-05:00I love the story behind this tree skirt, I think t...I love the story behind this tree skirt, I think that it turned out great!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612686505076697159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-49251685746771465112018-02-02T13:25:39.539-05:002018-02-02T13:25:39.539-05:00For prequilting, you sure picked an ambitious proj...For prequilting, you sure picked an ambitious project! I love traditions, so I like that you’ve been using it year after year. And I think it’s great that you didn’t know the “rules” about value placement because I like how you divided the colors in the points.

Fabric, today I went to a quilt fabric shop about 1 hour north of us. All I needed was some blue batik. There was not a single batik of any colour there at all, but I did get some bargains from the $2 a piece, lots were in an old suitcase.A great way to display a quilt, I thought. There was also a Singer machine, no drawers at the sides of the cabinet, for sale NZ $120. I thought of you!!!Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.com
