"Looks very peaceful. My sister has a pond with Koi and it is fun to watch them. "
"Very cute and some child will be very lucky. You must have same great thrift shops around you. None of mine have fabric."
"Riana, braided would look great.
Zoe, I would have him carry them on board. Too much work to have them get lost in the mail or “taken”. We checked in a box full of dry food items for an extended stay in Hawaii. It never…"
"Wow, Beth...gorgeous rose. "
"Thanks, Riana. They were fun. I have so many scraps, including a large amount of flannel 2-1/2” strips. Maybe I will sew those together to make a large courthouse block quilt. We have several “safe house”…"
"Well, have not finished my Snowmen, but trying to finish up UFOs. Here are two quilts I started in late 2017...super sized log cabin using up scraps. Will finish binding on larger one today while I monitor the sewing room for club.…"

"This is stunning. On my radar but way out there."
"Just finished binding “Barclay’s Bay”. Another UFO down. This will go to my SIL who just moved to Wilmington NC. They have a new home with a nice sunroom. Perfect for that room."

Lori's kitty-approved quilts said… - I'm just one kitty shy of being a crazy cat lady. I foster orphan kitties for a rescue organization. I kept all four of my kitties the first time I fostered. I already had 3. I make tiny kittie blankie a with Minky swirl fabric for each kitty to take home. Next kitten season I'm sure I'll be a card carrying crazy cat lady.

I am happy to see you accepted my friend request! We can never have too many friends, right?

Looks like the "friending" worked, but when I try to compose, it is saying I have no friends. Anyway, I have lots of flower patterns I could adapt to the Got Water theme. Thank you for the offer. There is another row by row with watering can and flowers...may wilt the one the can can't reach.

Judi Svendsen said… Hello Wilma,
Thanks so much for the you tube site, now I'm going to be in trouble making boxes. I also have some pre-quilted fabric I'd like to get rid of so guess where it's going? Those boxes I think will make good thread catchers by our chairs where we hand sew, will make as quick Xmas gifts foe my quilting friends. Again thanks, Judi
