    Love all the quilts and especially the first one. I have that pattern but haven't done it yet. You've done a great job, keep up your good work.

    Your quilts are lovely and (not knowing what you experienced in the past) quilting just might be a "dose of good medicine". Don't give up. I haven't been able to quilt for about 2 years either but I look forward to getting back to it. Sometimes I just go in the spare bedroom where I sew/quilt and look at some fabrics. I'm sure I will have to re-learn a few things but that's okay.

    Keep up the good work.

    Just keep on quilting! Those pictures are great. Just enjoy the process and heck with any errors you see. Take it from us, we are our own worst enemies. Most non-quilters won't even see the errors.

    Roxanne, these quilts are beautiful. It's great that you are back to quilting. Don't worry if your work isn't as good as it use to be, at least you are doing what you love. Keep on sewing!!

    Roxanne, I'm sorry about your troubles, but don't give up on quilting. Your work is beautiful. That Ginny Beyer quilt is a masterpiece.

    If you still enjoy it................keep on truckin'. Don't compare yourself to others, just follow your own path. Everyone starts out learning and if you're starting over, give yourself some slack. I think your quilts are gorgeous, quilting too.

    Beautiful. I am sorry that you had to take a hiatus, but full steam ahead now.

    Roxanne, I don't know what the change of life event you had, but you've done some beautiful work on these. I'm just a rank amateur, and while I've made some quilts, the ones I've made are nothing compared to your work. You are bound to be a little out of practice, but you just need to keep on keepin' on. Only by practice can we hope to maintain our skills. It may take a little time, but you'll get there! Beautiful colors, beautiful quilting.

    Please keep quilting, the quilting world would be so lost without such a gifted quilter as yourself. Your work is so beautiful and I'm sure so many quilters would benefit from your talent and experience
