Ninnie, Wanda_G posted this on my PP thread, it may help youto find a good video. here is what she said:
"Elle, love your pp and the colors! Carol Doak's book and DVD is how I learned, I could never understand it before. Her DVD is wonderful, plus her way of showing you all the little tricks adding fabric etc. It all came together for me when I bought the whole kit...book, DVD, add-1/4" ruler, and paper. "
Hope it helps, Elle

No sweat, okie3, I'll wait right here until you get back. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Just remember in the future, take pictures and save them, so you will always have them to go with the memories. also I would write down everything you know about each quilt. I have one of my Great Grandmothers that is worn out and I don't know anything about it.Sad for me.

Don't think you are going about anything wrong. I wish I could get hand quilting down to where I am happy with my stitching. I LOVE HAND QUILTED QUILTS. I just don't seem to be able to get my stitiching even, I know, practice, Practice, PRACTICE!! My first quilt I did the border in hand stitching. It is very relaxing to quilt this way.
I love the quilt it is really beautiful and made the traditional way. Keep up the lovely work and please post pictures again when you are done.

Keep waiting , it will be sometime during the week before I get the quilt frame down. I will be cleaning house so the kids can mess it up next weekend. Yes, I will take pictures, most of the quilts are made out of feed sacks and left over fabrics from cloths that she made me to wear for school, I mean from 1st grade through High school. There is fabric in there that she made out fits for my cousin and I just alike (only 3 months difference in our ages) we are more like sisters than cousins.
