Why quilting is good for us!
You bet your boots quilting is good for us. We need to create. We need to
give love. We need to be alone and we need the companionship of fellow quilters. Of course, we also help the economy by bringing home lovely fabrics that call to us. Sometimes though, it just might also raise our blood pressure. I can Not move forward with the crib quilt underway. Little Peepers, Fons & Porters Baby Quilts Winter 2008 is adorable but choosing the background fabric for the Peepers has halted production until morning comes and Mr. Esther has had some coffee and can choose for me. Quilting helps us know "Yes we can" and, of course, "Maybe I can't" but we're growing either way. Beats the heck out of watching reruns of the Dukes of Hazard.

Little Peepers Why quilting is good for us!
Oh wow Sandy. Thank you for finding/showing the quilt pattern for me. It
is quite a case of cute. It's a gift for a friend's grandbaby. I was 'somewhat' interested in what sort of theme the new mama had going. When I found out she was doing baby's room in brown and cream, you 'know' that's not going to happen from my happy stash. I just can't wait to show you my version of Peepers.

Little Peepers Why quilting is good for us!
What is with the brown nurseries? There is almost nothing that is a
choice but pink or blue or brown. I guess most folks find out whether they are having a boy or girl and then just go pink or blue? Manufacturers gave up on neutral colors? There was a brown clothes hamper on a gift list for a new baby in the family. That just seems a bad plan besides not very happy. Those peepers are the cutest thing. Thanks for the link from Sandy and I can't wait to see the Polly version. Taria "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... Oh wow Sandy. Thank you for finding/showing the quilt pattern for me.

But brown doesn't show biological stains as much as pink, blue or pastel colours :-) Lizzy |

I can like brown. If somebody wants to give me a mink coat or a chocolate
cake, I can love it. I just can't think of brown in creating a sweet baby quilt. I swing between pastels and what the 'experts' say babies prefer. To be fair, I recently spent a wonderful half-hour with one of our great-grandsons while he was zoomed in with those 'learning to focus' big eyes on a arrangement I had on the piano of bright red raspberries. There have been wedding, graduation and baby shower invitations coming in here for the past year or so in brown. It's got to be 'trendy'. It will go away. I can wait.

Polly I tell you what is worst of the brown wave: bathrooms in brown. I mean, brown invitations, brown fabrics - they'll be gone in a few months or years, but a bathroom has a life expectancy of what? 20 or 30 years perhaps. And I know what I'm talking about; we've got two bathrooms with brown tiles and green sink and toilet. We are dying to redo the bathrooms, but we haven't got the time and money yet. U. |

I feel your pain. The main bathroom in this house is brown tiles,
dates from 1979. Wish I could afford to redo. For now, I just firmly think of it as the chocolate bathroom. Even worse is the one upstairs in harvest gold, same vintage. We give that one to guests :-) Roberta in D, just thankful the previous owners didn't care for avocado or sunset orange On Sun, 31 Jul 2011 09:23:57 +0200, "Ursula Schrader" wrote: "Polly Esther" wrote...
