HI Debbie, Wow.......what a schedule and busy person you are. If I had all those surgeries and weddings and gardens etc etc going on I'm afraid I'd just throw up my hands and punt!!! Hang in there! Found out the other day that I am…

Debbie Haven't heard from you for some time. As you had said your summer would be a very busy one I do not worry but just wonder how you are making it through the summer and if all is OK. We have had a bit of company off and on and now…

Debbie Thanks for the info. I sent a copy to Loretta. What classes are you interested in? I would certainly want to take at least one by L. Smith. Her quilts are very interesting and really something. I am sure Loretta would like to also. Keep me…

I am currently working on a Dear Jane quilt. You can see these at dearjane.com. I am working on the borders now. Almost all by hand but some paperpieced and some by machine.

Have lots of things going right now. Table runners for Christmas gifts and a 4-patch posie quilt, a snowman quilt, a dizzy geese quilt, courthouse steps and a few other things! I love to start new things but never get one done before another catches my eye. OH well, if I never finish them someone else can look at them and wonder why?

It is a nice day here, 50 degrees already. For Montana that is warm for this time of year.

HI everyone,

Haven't visited my blog for a bit. Seems like life has been keeping me busy. I am in charge of the "Boutique" for our guild quilt show and have been busy rounding up things for that. I like to get things done ahead of time and have a million (quite a few) items to price and mark for the Boutique that various gals donated for the guild to sell. Also, finding the cloths to put on the tables and getting ready to do some signs, posters, or whatever for the booth. Also need to… Continue

I will dig it up and email it to you. the funny thing is I saw it, started making the blocks (this pattern is an excellent use of scraps) before I realized it made a King sized quilt! I used the new bamboo batting. I really like it.

Love sewing garments - no patience for the quilting these days. We love Boise and have been here for about 15 years now.

I have been busy making clothes for myself mainly, the choice of fabric in US is amazing and the fact that I can buy the stuff when I do my weekly shopping is even better. You don't get that in England they have fabric shops and I am afraid they are few and far between. I have found purely by chance a burda copyfree sight which has some pretty decent downloadable patterns so I am going to try that before I buy any more. Thanks for writing,

Its pretty dismal at the moments, had a few flurries this morning.

At 6:45am on December 1, 2008, Mary Alice Smith said…: Well, most lately I've been making Turning 20 around the block, one for each of 3 of my sisters. A fourth sister requested an applique cat quilt; I used the Cats in the Attic from Mary Graham (Quilters Online Resource). Funny you should mention the 4 patch posy. I looked for fabric for that yesterday when I was in Joanns on my way to Atlanta. We don't have a Joanns in B'ham so I always stop there when coming over to see the grandbaby. Instead I bought some tropical print for a 5 blade stack/whack style fan. I'm doing a hands-on project quilt camp in April and this will be a perfect fabric for the kits. It was only 4$ a yard on clearance so it didn't break the bank for the 8 yards to make kits for people who may or may not mess up.

I've also been playing with a birthday cake design I did for applique in the embroidery machine. Doing one large cake in each corner of a madiera applique tablecloth. When I go back to B'ham next week, I'll add photos. . . .

My DH collects pinups (tasteful ones) and I found a Hilda calendar at a flea market years ago. Hilda is a plump, playful redhead. Since she looks so much like me, or vice versa, DH started collecting Hilda stuff. This pic is my ravatar on Ravelry because of the knitting.

Yes, let's talk quilting and embroidery. . .

Right now I'm making toddler/children's fleece blankets for the Latina Center locally as those little ones just want to be warm and don't care how perfect it is. Best wishes, S

At 4:24pm on November 30, 2008, Terry said…: Hi Jo- Thanks! No, I did not quilt it myself, a friend did and she did a fantastic job. I'm pretty novice at quilting, have finished only 3 or 4 so far, and haven't mastered the actual quilting yet. Someday!!
