half hearted happy dance? by
Marijke
I finished made a quilt last week for a friend, sort of a thank you for
stuff she's done for me. It's a small lap quilt, not big at all. The

Colors, Friends and Sashing? by
dogmom
For over a year I've been slowly making a sawtooth star for one of my very
dearest friends. She likes pink, a lot. Her husband, who IMNSHO is a bit of
a jerk, likes purple. Since I began this--with the color scheme well in
place (it just sorta evolved)--he's been more of a jerk. The stars have...

to see some fall color. I immediately suggested Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

without a frame - just in my lap. I am considering doing a twin size quilt
