Iowa Quilters
I think it would be a nice idea to list the Quilters by state, so we can connect. We recently moved to Coralville, and I would love to find out about the quilt groups there. Could anyone help me out, thanks

This is Josephina, who helps me make clothes for Granddaughter Juliana's dolls. Josephina was sad she couldn't keep this for herself. Juliana and I do enjoy sewing together when she can visit. But she old,12, and very busy with Scouts, Volleyball, Piano, and French.

Hi Carolyn,
Delighted to be able to call you a friend.
Paula's work certainly looks to be Batik, very cleverly worked.
Although I was born in England to Irish parents, always counted myself as Irish too.
Now living in Ireland 12 yrs., very happy with my husband, we are both retired, my daughter lives here also. Son lives in England with his family. Have other family here, after searching my family tree, found a heap more, couldn't be happier.
Kindest regards to you and yours

Chris Combs said… yes, most of what I do with reverse applique are my own patterns. I currently have 10 designs. The rhapsody quilt I made was my own, but the whirlygig was a Becky Goldsmith pattern. I do like creating my own though.

Pacific Rim Quilt Company has great patterns for 2-fabric applique. They are basically reverse applique patterns. Hope you like them! That is what got me hooked on reverse applique.

Elaine Berendes said… Thank you for the welcome! I am presently working on graduation quilts. Have been invited to six, but only two will be getting a quilt. I only have the binding left to do on one and have have to finish piecing the other. Doing extra embellishments for the occasion. Waiting for the rain to stop!

Kathy Duwa said… No I'm sorry to say I have not met your friend I know she is not part of the quilters guild but if she lives in the area we would love to have her come. I may have met her at some time but did not recognize the name. I am so bad with names but I remember faces. Welcome to the area and I hope we will meet sometime.

Carolyn Kendall said… Hi Carolyn, thanks for the friend request.
I live in New South Wales on the eastern side of our continent. I am about 1.5 hours drive from Sydney and live in a small village, Hazelbrook, in the Blue Mountains National Park. We are lucky and get visits from lots of native birds and some of them even will feed from our hands and answer when spoken to. I just love them!
Our climate is reversed to yours - Christmas in summer and so we are just beginning Autumn (Fall). Temperatures in our area range from 40°C (108°F) to O°C (32°F) but as Australia is just over 90% the size of contiguous US climates varies greatly across Australia.
I love your hexagon quilt and appreciate how just much work went into it - I have made a king size one! I found it a wonderful portable project. Love looking at your pictures and it makes me realise I must put up photo album.
Enjoy your day, Carolyn
