    Sew happy for you and hubby ! Does this mean she gave you a quilt ? ( true quilter decline requests to buy a quilt )?

    for luvstoquilt = I have a book by Pat Speth and Charlene Thode called "nickel Quilt". The pattern is in that book (and I'm sure other books)> They call it Stretched Star.

    When the new home is right, it is right. That is how I felt when I found my house! Welcome Home!

    Congratulations on your new home. I too have a quilt rack but alas our house is too small to have it out so I put my quilts onthe bed.

    What a nice piece of luck! Now you can make it yours with quilts of your own. Congratulations.
