I was interested in seeing bigger photos of peoples work not trying to steal their ideas. One meber posted that she would not share her qult pattern and wasn't going to give me free lessons. I was shocked! Here is the link to the topic if you are interested in seeing the quilts of those who did want to share. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-72553-1.htm
Good luck finding the pattern for the mystery quilt!!

My aunt, DM's sis, made the most wonderful chocolate cake. She said she gave DM the recipe, but we think she left out an ingredient or changed the recipe when she wrote it down. Now she is gone, no one can enjoy it, and I really loved that cake! She was a very sweet person otherwise...

Being a church member doesn't have much to do with these things. When I was young, I used to read Ann Landers' column in the paper every day. One of her quotes has always stuck with me:
"A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints."
"A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints."

She made a tasty appetizer made with spinach and puff pastry that I would have loved to have the recipe. She felt a need to be the only one to make them.

I, too, gladly share information about my projects and often offer to teach someone how to do her own. Often they want you to spend your time making one for them not spend the time and effort to do it for themselves. It is a little discouraging to share a favorite recipe at a potluck dinner and then have that person bring it to the next potluck meal.
