Hey, Diane ..you fractured your pelvis not your eyes. Didn't anyone tell you that??? I'm still blushing from all the wonderful comments by Diane & Susan. My goodness...I'm just a plain lady that loves to applique. BUT...having said that, I'm happy to report that I've finished my Artful Album quilt as well. Whoohooo! Now I can start another quilt ;>) Anyone else thinking of doing the Civil War Brides Quilt?

I think it was the whole quilt. I looked carefully at the photo and you could see the binding with mitered corners all around. We have chickadees here, too, although I'm more likely to hear their distinctive call then actually see them. I did see a beautiful male cardinal this morning in all his glory.

We have tons of them over the winter when I can put out the feeders (after the bears hibernate 12/1 and before they wake up 4/1 - at least according to the NJ Fish & Wildlife Dept when I called them 2 years ago after a bear followed the trail of the seed from the feeder tree to the house!) They are so cute so I really picked up on that - was that the whole quilt, or just part of it? We also have some beautiful Cardinal ornaments at the garden center, so I may have to add one to my collection! Barb

I admired the Chickadee too, QuiltDragon. It is gorgeous!

Too many pineneedles & bird feathers for me to needleturn! It is a beautiful applique piece, though.

I just finished reading my Dec/Jan '10 issue of Quitler's Newsletter. There are some knock-your-sox-off pictorials and applique to die for - especially the Chickadee on the last page all needleturn applique including 400 pine needles! Check it out!

Thank you ladies for all of your well wishes!
Thanks Suzanne for your admission to doing drugs!!!I laughed when I read ir because I look at some of my stitching and think good grief did I even have my glasses on!

Diane- welcome back, it s good to hear you are recovering well. Take it easy, do what you can.

Diane - glad to hear you're on your way to recovery now. And about the hand piecing, I sometimes like the way things look when I've been putting them together "under the influence"...lol. Oh come on girls, when I had 2 herniated disks in my back, those pain killers were just the ticket. I can look at those blocks now and just smile - and I never reverse sew them - just smile at them and wonder that I was able to do them at all. :-D
