Thank you for Birthday wishes.

Good luck with the bus. Know what you mean about investing ton of money but we all need a hobby we enjoy.  I have not had much luck with selling things I have made since I quit going to fairs.  But even then the expense of going to fairs and material to make stuff was not good.  Dh supports my hobby and family help a little. 

Worked with the Busy Bees quilt group in Monticello GA for 10 yrs.  they donate to Project Linus the Middle Ga. chapter.  Several middle GA counties in the group and they have donated over 6000 comfort blankets.

All my immediate family have quilts as well as aprons and lot of other handmade items in their homes.  I make most gifts to the family.  The young ones especially love the quilts.  Nieces have put up quilts their children used as babies to pass on to the next generation.  That is neat.  Be sure and label your work, the family enjoy looking at the label yrs later and saying gee can't believe this quilt is that old.  

Some have come to me as much as 10 yrs later wanting their first quilt mended.  Can't talk them into a new one to replace the worn one.  They always want the new and the old one fixed. 

Thank you for the Birthday wishes. I took a break trying to get my quilting studio organized to celebrate with family. I hope you had a wonderful weekend! :)

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I appreciate this

thanks for the birthday wishes. I have had 3 quilts accepted to Paducah andgot an honorable mention at Denver National last year - 46 ribbons in 6 yrs which I am very proud of. I love machine appliqué' and Ricky Tims is probably my favorite quilter. I like teaching, have been to many shows but this year I am going to Houston for the first time and looking forward to it.     Charmaine

thanks so much! It would be better if the weather would co-operate!

Good morning QuilterBridget.  Just read on another post that you live in Seaside, OR.  Small town, no groups or guilds.  I live in Corvallis and have found a wonderful group to be a part of.  Hope you have found someone to share your love/passion of quilting with.

Hello QuilterBridget!!!  I know it has been awhile since Ilast chatted with you.  Hope all is good with you.  I've been busy these past few years.  Joined a quilters group, and have been quilting up a storm.  lol   The weather here in PA has been nice and warm , the leaves are changing.  I hope our Fall stays for awhile.  Please keep in touch, would love to hear from you..
