The days just aren't long enough..

I found some fantastic fabric for a quilt I am dying to make, but it will have to wait as I have about 7 in front of that one to make first. I did buy the fabric though, so at least I can enjoy the uncut color combinations until then ... Anyone else ever feel as though work interfers with quilting, and the days should include at least 3 Q hours each - hours to be devoted only to quilt work...

At 1:35pm on March 2, 2009, Diane Gunter/Canada said…: Your pictures are beautiful. I have a friend who used to do the whole quilt by hand but I haven't seen her for 2 yrs. Last I heard she was taking a break from quilting and was an avid knitter now. I also have another friend that is doing Dear Jane completely by hand. Her background is black. What is done is very striking!. So you aren't the only one out there. I am proud to know someone who is keeping the true art of quilting alive.

I purchased a "group" of matching colors and prints that should be enough to finishe the quilt. I will try to update the photo of it. I have several rows doen on it now - but have stopped working on it for a bit in order to finish a machine peiced quilt for my grandson.

Thank you all so much for the nice comments. This site is so warm and welcoming.
