Mary Moore commented on Suzanne Montgomery's group A Quilting Bee"Rogue, you have made me a little homesick. One of my library jobs was at a private boarding school in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Mary Moore commented on Suzanne Montgomery's group A Quilting Bee"That blue sounds relaxing. The sun room has (will have) walls paneled with wood from our own land, pine and cedar. I think I will live with it natural for awhile and see how it ages. Poor Paul is having to re-size and plane and…"

Nancy Gardner said… Mary, I see there is a quilt show in Grass Valley this weekend. Are you going to be there or do you have some quilts on display there? I am going to see if I can talk my daughter into going up to see them with me.

Caren Eicke said… I am so sorry to hear that Mary. You just hope that they have a conscience and think of stealing it every time they look at it. Well I am sure they don't or they won't of stolen it to begin with. I feel very bad for you.

Joyce Messchaert said… I did get one of yours wonky house blocks, Mary. Your granddaughter is very talented. The first Internet swap I did many years ago included blocks from quilters in other countries as well as U.S. quilters. It was great seeing where they came from. That was a chicken block swap; very fun. I did it twice and have 2 queen-size chicken quilts to show for it.

Thank you for the thoughts, that board that my husband uses to take my quilt pics is just that -aboard with some of those paper clip things. Wish I had a better way to display my quilts and share them, but you got to do what you can with what you have.If any body has any suggestions on a cheap way to do this I would appreciate it.Alot of my quilts end up being queen to king size so it makes it hard to hang them where you can see all the detail.Love to hear from ya and your thoughts.

Cait Payne said… Hi Mary,
Glad you liked the photo's from IQF., and that you have such fond memories of Galway. After looking through your photo's, I see a very talented lady with a good sense of fun, a powerful combo.
I am a late starter - newbie quilter, appreciate that I have a great deal to learn, but am enjoying the process. Also found out in Galway that quilters worldwide are a friendly bunch and it was a joy to meet them.
Have found a Quilters Group quite near to me and have been invited to join them, so looking forward to Sept., when they meet again. I am sure I will learn a lot from them as well as enjoying their company.
Best
Cait

Yes, that's my buddy! My only grandchild and I have him spoiled rotten. I was trying to photograph his quilt and he decided to photograph me! I named the quilt Radiator Springs "Low and Slow" Car Club because it was on the fabric that I pieced into the back. The Cars characters were leftover scraps from fabric that I used to make him a duffle bag. I appliqued them onto fabric that looks like sand.
