Decorating w/ quilty stuff by
Ellison
Howdy!
I've asked y'all before if you decorate w/ your quilts, if your home says
"A Quilter lives here!" (Well, does it? g)
I'm always on the lookout for more quilty stuff, not too junky, not too
cutesy,
things that look quilt-related.
Came across this line of products by Jim Shore recently

OT - To Martha in In by
Donna in Idaho
Are you there or have you floated down the river? - even though it seems to
me you were on pretty high ground. I just saw on the Weather Channel that
Indianapolis has had over 7 inches of rain today and it's still raining, and
Terre Haute 5 inches. Hope everything is ok with all of you in Indiana...

And this reminds me, since we've been talking about Houston 2004, let's give
Kevin a mission (should he choose to accept it): Find an inexpensive place
where ALL of us can stay. We could take over that Ramada! And Kevin can

MQing -spacing by
John Freese
I decided just to do a very simple diagonal MQ on my YBR. Sometimes I think
(okay, I know) I get too caught up in how fancy or intricate to be. And I

This twin size will be put on a couch in our sunroom, so whoever wants to go
take a nap...

Four of those are mine. Buttons and Bows was a group quilt that I made with my
Mom. I did the blocks and put it together; she did the silk ribbon embroidery.
