To my SQA....
Did you send me an April Squishy? I haven't received it yet and I didn't know if you had forgotten or if time were rough for you and you couldn't do it this month... no hard feelings.. I understand... I just don't want it floating around the country when it's suppose to be with me.

It is in Evart Michigan on the muskegon river. Can;t wait to get there. Have to come home early for a Memorial service Sunday. I have my Singer 99 sitting right in front of the window so I can sew and watch the river float by. Are you near?

In the midsouthen part of the state--Jackson. Where I94 and South 127 cross paths. We are so lucky here in MI with so many places to "get away from it all". Enjoy your time away.

Been away for 10 days and came home to a great surprise -- my SQA sent me a quick note and three great patterns for small quilts (by Anne Slater), all with a "native American/tribal theme, which I absolutely love. Now I hear one of last month's fat quarters calling out to one of the patterns ... yep, there it goes again. Better go see what they've got goin'. Thanx so much!!!

My SQA sent a gift and great big challenge. I got Dunster's Diamond Log Cabin Star Pattern. It is a beautiful pattern. I had dreams of someday making it when I learned to paper piece. I even had the post bookmarked so I could order the pattern. This is what the note said:
Happy Spring
I know you want to learn paper piecng-but what about this for a challenge? See if you can make this!"
SQA thanks so much. I promise to give it a try once I am in my new house. Thanks too, to Dunster for mailing it out.
Isn't it awesome how our SQAs seem to know when we just need a little cheering up.

Would love to see a picture of the native american tribal themed pattern as i am native american and am always looking for those kinds of things. Thanks

Dunster's quilt pattern is an awesome gift, please post a pic when you're done. Those quilts are beautiful!

I second that. I do my home in native american and I would like to see these patterns or at least the name so I can look them up. There aren't to many out there.

I almost forgot. Thank you goes out to my SQA. got 4 fq's in the mail yesterday with a card.

The colors are v3ery pretty and springy looking.

(((HUGS))) Thank you so much for remembering me.

Oops! My bad -- just read the finer print on the patterns and they are not native American, but Aboriginal designs from Australia. I'm sorry if I got y'all excited about Native American. I get so fascinated with the geometric designs, colors, patterns, and nature theme that I just get carried away. I would like to see some Native American designs sometime, too. I am always impressed with how any native culture deals with explaining nature in their legends and showing their respect in the symbolism seen in their handiwork.
