I'm definitely not an "art quilter" but more a quilter who enjoys working with the old-fashioned quilt blocks of our foremothers!

So much so that I fell asleep in the recliner trying to read the newspaper!<br /><br />Jane - Aw fer Pete's sake, kind lady, yer makin' me blush!<br /><br />Erin - I gave CM your best wishes. Sure hope nobody asks if I would make another one. I hate to be such an old poop, but the answer would be nothankyouverymuch. :o)<br /><br />JJ - You've been sniffing the kids' school glue again. I am NOT amazing! (Thank you for being so sweet.)<br /><br />Stephanie - Thanks so much, kind lady.<br /><br />Yvette - Yessiree, deadlines do produce results! And ulcers.

You'd attack it the same way you are doing with the lovely embroidery!<br /><br />APG - Thanks, m'dear. My fingers got hurt more by the singe marks from trying to hold those tiny pieces down and bond them with the iron!<br /><br />Jen - There's no way this puppy is EVER getting washed!
