All by hand! And I love them. I went through a quilting phase and loved the entire process of designing, fabric selection, marking, cutting, sewing and basting and quilting and binding. Until.... I tackled a quilt too big... since I quilted in my lap, without a huge frame to tame this one, I soon ran out of steam. Now, I knit!Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-90590300270933000572010-02-16T10:46:36.070-05:002010-02-16T10:46:36.070-05:00Wonderful as always, Jeanne ...

I have an old 'crazy quilt' (made with scraps of odd shaped fabric salvaged from old clothes) my great-grandma made sometime around 1900 and I love it and I have wanted to make something similar with clothes from my life...but sadly have never been organised enough to keep material safe or even know where to begin.Perhaps I'll start taking it more seriously now.Michellouihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841678308675092702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-22718939754227293652010-02-16T03:25:14.894-05:002010-02-16T03:25:14.894-05:00Looking forward to seeing your efforts!!

Right - first blog post for me in 4 days with all this sickness in the house. Your little flower will do just the trick!Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02255310309447767848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-69468431554156743882010-02-16T02:57:54.049-05:002010-02-16T02:57:54.049-05:00Dear Jeanne,

What we see today being created on the blogs is a direct result to the event of that day and our need to focus on family.<br /><br />There are other influences for sure and what I wrote an over simplification.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful start to the week,<br />EgmontFour Seasons in a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515078635782464939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-66104431503307837122010-02-15T19:29:58.504-05:002010-02-15T19:29:58.504-05:00Three blogs!

I'm totally with you on the quilting.....love the concept, can imagine all sorts of divine fabric combinations, but when it comes to actual execution? I'm all thumbs and absolutely no patience to learn. I've managed to convince my mother, who is amazingly clever at all those sorts of things, that I have some form of craft dyslexia. I'm not joking...the instructions make NO sense at all to me. <br /><br />You probably already know these women, but in case you don't, Heather Bailey and Anna Maria Horner have the most vibrant, eclectic fabric collections, just perfect for quilting. Sometimes I go to their websites just to drool. Annoyingly, Anna Maria Horner also has six children, is drop dead gorgeous and has somehow managed to grow an international fabric business.....additionally, she appears to be an absolute darling. I really want to not like her, but I can't help myself, she's just too lovely. Her blog is on my sidebar.<br /><br />Hope you're having a great week.
