Barb, I would like to make a comfort quilt for Rachel. If you are interested, please send me a 6-1/2" heart block (pattern of your choice) to:

Thank you Barb. My sisters and I are working on getting things moving with regard to paperwork. The big battle will be cleaning out the house and putting it up for sale.
Etsy profitable? You get lots of requests?
The etsy shop profitable for you?
Interesting, I have etsy shop called Toddlers/doodlers also some kids but mostly hospital scrubs.. Hve to update the site soon.
I live in Naploeonville, La. Close to Thibadeaux. DH and I moved here from Kalona Iowa. We lived in Westwego La. before Hurricane Katrina. We moved to Iowa to help son #2. My Granddaughter had brain surgery, and my son has had 10 surgeries for infected sweat glands. Then his youngest son had to have brain surgery. Apparently it runs in the family. All are doing fine now. We moved back because DH had frost bite on his feet and when it gets cold they hurt.
I see some beautiful work here. I'm not as talented as some on this site, but working on it.
QD, the thread breakage problem for the swap blocks could have been caused by, stabilizer,thread, bobbin, needle, or needle size. Heavyweight tear away stabilizer is usually not necessary fro quilt weight cottons, usually one layer of medium weight is all thats needed. Since you changed the needle several times it could have been the needle size. I usually use a 80 sharp embroidery needle Organ brand. As for bobbin thread I either use a fine cotton weight bobbin thread and have recently discovered YLI polyester bobbin embroidery thread which I like, have not had any luck with prewound bobbins. Hope this helps

Wow hearing about the process of your 1941 quilt makes it even more impressive. You are quite an artist! Congratulations on an awesome quilt.
Hey, Barb! I was using my phone to answer you back earlier. Now I'm on my computer and typing is sew much easier here. Thanks sew much for your lovely comments on my projects. I've always been interested in learning new things and once I got my first quilting class under my belt 3 years ago, I've not stopped. I was very fortunate in the teacher I had. She made sure that every project we did had at least 3 new things in it for us to learn. Just in the first 3 projects, I learned how to select fabrics, rotary cutting techniques (well, ok, maybe I could have learned those better since I tried to slice off part of my finger last summer), squaring up blocks and the entire quilt, binding, machine applique, cornerstones, quilt sleeves, scalloped bindings, machine embroidery on quilts, half & quarter square triangles, and kaleidoscopes! That's a lot in just 3 projects! And, I had a blast while I learned. This summer I'll be making a Burgoyne Surrounded quilt for my daughter, Heather, for Christmas - EEK! I need to get started cutting on that one! Glad I've got a new seam ripper waiting in the wings for that one - LOL!
