Memory Quilts
Anyone who has made a memory quilt and has advice to share or anyone thinking of making a memory quilt and is looking for advice.

UFOs
If you're a REAL quilter, you have at least one UFO (unfinished object) and one WIP (work in progress) stashed in the closet or stacked on a shelf. Maybe you just need quilting suggestions, or maybe a fresh eye from a new online friend can help with block arrangements. How about a UFO swap? Any UFO conversation is welcome.See More

We have these new gas bombs that you thrown down the hole and cover up. We will see if they worked. Deer decided to start chewing on my cauliflower and broccoli plants so up went the black net horse fence around my raised garden. planted carrots and beans yesterday. Peas are up 6 inches now. So excited the weather seems to be so much more cooperative…

My grandma taught me how to make them. We always did needle points and would put the pieces together to make quilts. I wish I could have saved more of the ones she made me but of course they were always my favorite so they have long since been retired.
