Re: More play during the lock down

 

Thanks, Gary.? I would love to see pics of Shirley's antique quilts.? I have some old quilt tops I bought on eBay that are all hand pieced.? I intend to quilt them up so they can be used.? I was going to give them to my girls but they seem to prefer the ones I make from scratch. I think they like the bright colors I use. Lately,? I have kind of gotten sidetracked with knitting which I do from time to time but I always go back to quilting.

Let's start a new subject.? Post a picture of your hobby &/or interest with an explanation & maybe a mention of city & state where you now reside.? Claire, let's see some pics of your dogs, past/present.? Tell us about the breed.? Wasn't there someone who carved or collected duck decoys?? Let's see a picture.? I think there is a whole lot of interesting things going on in your lives.

I think this gives you idea of what type of quilts I make.? They are mostly traditional patterns with contemporary fabrics.? I have a long arm computer controlled quilting machine so am able to do very intricate, precise quilting designs on them.? Most of them are already in their new homes.? However, I keep some in the cupboard that can be given to someone who needs the comfort of a quilt because of life circumstances.

BTW, I sold my home in Mexico.? I will make one more trip down there to clear out my personal belongings.? I didn't want to sell it but felt it was the right thing to do at this time.

Hope you all are doing well during this unsettling time.

Bonnie

I'm curious about your quilting Bonnie.
Do you perhaps have a picture or 2 you could share?
I think we would all be interested in seeing them
