NEXT CLASS SHE ASKED..WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING..I REPLIED..I'M LEARNING..AND I WILL GET THESE BLOCKS CAUGHT UP..IF I STAY UP ALL NIGHT....OR...ASK MY GREAT SISTER FOR HELP.LOL. LITTLE DID TEACHER KNOW...NEEDLESS TO SAY..I SHOWED UP A FEW MINUTES LATE..BUT...GOT MY LAP QUILT ON THE STRETCHER..AND WE BASTED ALL LAYERS TOGEHTER. YA SEE...SISSY AND I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT AND FINISHED TOGETHER..THAT THE WAY WE ARE..WE ARE THERE FOR EACH OTHER..SHE'S THE BEST. OF COURSE THE TEACHER THOUGHT IT WAS DONE ON MACHINE..BECAUSE WE WERE SO GOOD ON OUR STITCHES..WELL SHE MUST HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT MY SISTERS AREA..BUT I DID TAKE THE CREDIT ..OF COURSE..HAD TO SHOW HER ...I WAS DETERMINED TO MEET THE DEADLINE..AND EVERYONE IN CLASS WAS SO HAPPY --TO SEE THE TEACHER WAS WRONG..LOL. IT MUST HAVE BEEN YEARS LATER..SHE SEEN ME..AT A SHOW, IN THE CROWD..AND ADMITTED..SHE WAS SO WRONG TO DISCOURAGE ME THAT WAY..AND WAS GLAD TO SEE SHE DIDN'T BREAK MY SPIRIT ,FOR QUILTING..THANKS TO MY SISTER!! I LIVED IN EHPRATA,PA MANY YEARS AGO..AND THEY ANNOUNCED A QUILT GATHERING..SO I SHOWED..AND A AMISH WOMEN ANSWERED THE DOOR..SO I SAID..IS THIS WHERE THE QUILTING LESSON IS??

I got a note from you but it was addressed to Gayle. Just wanted you to know in case you still wanted to send it to Gayle. Brenda
Boy ohBoy! You do Beautiful work...and I Love your story about the quilt teacher...Ha! when it comes to quilting,,,we all get hooked...again..Gorgeous Quilts,,,,....................
Last week she was up to her ears with a belligerent 8th grader. So she was on her way home and "happened to find the quilt shop" on the way. She went in and told the lady she just wanted to "touch fabric and cool off". Ended up buying a purse pattern. Next when she went home, she decided she didn't like her stash, so the next day went back and bought something she liked. She sat down and made the whole darn thing in one night. She must have been really mad at that kid. LOL
Anyway, I've done a fair amount of running around the area on my visits, from DC to PHIL (my airport). We've hit the beaches at Rehoboth, Bethany, Dewey etc. And countless venues in bertween.
My niece was married last May and I was out there for that. We always have fun. We keep saying that "next time" we are going to Lancaster County. I better bring $$$$ ha ha
My name is Lana Ebeling, by the way. So fun to talk to someone who kind of knows where I've been. If I find out the name of her school, I'll let you know.
