Quilting is one craft I’ve never tried. But I do admire home made quilts and all the creativity and time that goes into them.

I have done a tiny bit of quilting but as Peggy says, there isn’t much time for it these days. I forwarded on to a friend who does beautiful needlework — and she forwarded it — so quilters in PA are loving Paris Patch!

Its just that at this point in my life, there really isn’t much time for it. I’ve got a half made baby quilt all ready to be completed as soon as one of my boys tells me that there is going to be a new baby in the family.

I’ve always done crocheting, knitting and needle work, but never got into making quilts….and they are SO beautiful. Thanks Claude.

My mother inherited her love of sewing. Tailoress is just not PC these days so I keep on being told.

Loved the quilts, we have an exhibition once a year at Beamish Museum and the handsewn ones always draw the biggest crowds. And yes its me, I thought today was Wednesday!!!

Sometimes, all I do,in one day, is write my initials on the dust of the furniture. Of course I read, I listen to music, I think… Well, I think that I think…
I looked at the three flickrs of Nonie Vogue. It’s marvellous! I also love the Mussorgsky, and the show. Thank you!
