Hey Carol I to used to live in a Winnebago for two years and moved i9nto our house last March. I;m so happy to finally have a house again. I have a real sewing room again. Love it. I'm a country girl that moved to town with about 10,000 people. I really like to convinces of loving in town but miss living in a small town of 365. There I knew everyone. now just a few. I can't get over living in a subdivision and only know three or four neighbors. But I stay busy making quilts, sewing, crocheting and reading. I even got to join a quilting guild. I also take quilting classes once a week. I guess it averages out huh. I'm trying to make each of the five children a quilt each. I have two ready to be quilted. I met someone who has a long-arm machine in case I can't get them all quilted by Xmas. Wish me luck.

It's an appliqued quilt with 12 little girl's dresses made out of different fabrics and each individually embellished with buttons, beads and trims. It really turned out well and I can hardly wait to see how she likes it. After having three boys and 4 grandsons, I'm delighted to finally get to add some frills to my sewing and quilting. If I could figure out a way to add a picture of it I would. If anyone knows a way to do so, please tell me.

My own family is far away. Must make things to post to my mother and sister though- I can just put my all into those two projects......

Well, I have a twin size Log Cabin to finish by Nov 26th for my granddaughter's 7th birthday, 2 twin size applique quilts for each of my 2 grandchildren, and 2 queen size quilts for my 2 daughters. Maybe I should just forget all the quilts & join Madquilter in accepting that didley and squat may not get done or join Trupeach1 in making something to put me out of my misery. I'm definitely helping Lady Crafter take away Craftybear's COUNTER!!

someone needs to get the counter quickly from craftybear before she causes someone to have a massive heart attack....Then we would never get finished....HA
