Your creation process for the Redbird mini quilt gives an additional level to the piece. <br />Seeing your beautiful quilting on the creatures-of-the-sea panels makes me think that there are baby quilts in the making. Am I right?<br />P.S.: You're such a generous persons that you "sponsored" other creators in your blog hop post. That says how generous you are! :-)France Nadeau ❅ inspiration imagination creationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984624117899878826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677152823724787763.post-43582326853434184792014-08-28T07:40:24.752-04:002014-08-28T07:40:24.752-04:00Thank you for this wonderful post, dear Karen!!

I took my first quilting class years ago while still working. I've always had to have another creative outlet, be it sewing, knitting, cross stitch. I always have something in my hands. Now, I spend hours on the computer looking for inspiration. I "know" Jan and in years after I finish hand piecing and hand quilting my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt, I am going to give Lucy Boston a go. I stamp my fabric and then hand piece this quilt. I'm considering using EPP thanks to Jan. I feel a very real connection with her not only because of quilting but also because I was raised on a farm. I lived in a very rural area where I went to a one-room school with no running water and we had two out houses. The older students carried water from the pump to the coolers in the coat room. The cook had to carry water, too. I was the only girl in my grade 2-5. We had only one junior high and one high school in the county. I had my mother for five classes. In addition to working in IT, I completed my masters in education. I was working on my doctorate in gifted education when I became to ill to continue. I was two classes and my dissertation away from finishing. I think about all I learned not what I did not accomplish. Thanks for the great post. I love your telling about your processes.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825257012315494167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677152823724787763.post-11004437427149005552014-08-26T01:29:00.850-04:002014-08-26T01:29:00.850-04:00thanks for sharing all this with us, I feel I kno...thanks for sharing all this with us, I feel I know you so well now and look forward to yoyur next post.
