When I t...Hello Jane in beautiful Wales and thanks! When I think of some of the most memorable quilts none of them would have made it into a juried show. I'm not opposed to making a quit for juried show but rather it isn't my cup of tea. For me the joy of quilts is in the making and seeing the finished product. And of course sharing the quilt and what I learned with other quilters. That's what I call fun!

I look at the Gees Bend quilts and I think they are spectacular and memorable!<br /><br />And EPP is a great solution for all kinds of challenging piecing! I even EPP a pickle dish quilt because I couldn't bear the thought of precisely cutting out all the little triangles with curved edges! I can't wait to see your double Irish chain quilt. Hope you'll be posting pictures on your blog!Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166374693095867682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-31386634730134914412013-07-27T05:11:39.991-07:002013-07-27T05:11:39.991-07:00I sat here reading with a grin on my face.

Thank you for a breath of fresh air.

I don't always comment but I so enjoy your talent. I even have learned a few things or two. LOL I love the way you approach fabric, quilting and design. You are an artist.

I always make scrap quilts because I love their randomness. When I show them to friends, they are like little children excitedly picking out the fabric scraps they have given or swapped me.<br />Wasn't patchwork all about thrifting and make-do?<br />ps I am EPP'ing a double Irish chain quilt, yes even the big squares and why not? :-D<br />I must say your quilting on this quilt is divine!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-31303296092704365012013-07-26T17:28:34.054-07:002013-07-26T17:28:34.054-07:00Oh kindred spirit!
