Quilters really are the most artistic and innovative people I know. I'm going to spend the next half hour happily browsing through all your lovely galleries. Yippee!!

My jacob's ladder is my daughter's and there are so many mistakes in it - thank goodness quilting takes you eye off of them, ha! I have gotten better about 1/4 in. seams. What fun to live in Ireland - I haven't even been out of the US, just about everyone in my family has, but not to Ireland.

Your group looks like so much fun going on there. Aren't we blessed? I especially liked the starry quilt--although they were all beautiful. Talk to you later, Leather Needle Debbie

At 4:50pm on April 21, 2009, Prairie Quilter Jan/NE said…: Agnes, good to hear from you. The school year is winding down here. Just about 4 wks left. I'm getting the binding sewn down on the second graduation quilt. I enjoy doing that and will be glad to see that project come to an end. I have a couple of quilts that I'd like to get sandwiched and basted in order to hand quilt.

Yesterday and today were cattle working days. Our son stayed home from school yesterday to help. The rounded up the yearlings and then sorted them by steer & heifer. The heifers were vaccinated. Today he saddled up as soon as he got home from school and they moved the steers a couple of miles to summer grass. It didn't take long and they had no problems. It was a great couple of days, weather-wise, to work cattle. My husband checked the fences this morning and for the part of the afternoon before our son got home from school. My dad (75 yrs old) still rides and likes to help with the livestock work.

I am scheduled for a badly needed haircut in the morning. The lawn needed mown today, so I feel pretty gritty and dirty. It is good exercise, though. The walking and pushing is good for me.

Our daughter in college is headed to London & Edinburgh with the college for a "study abroad" program for 2 wks in May. She is pretty excited, but a little apprehensive, too. She's hardly been anywhere - even here in the states! This will really stretch her. Wish she could detour to Ireland.

I enjoyed hearing about your little guy and the fabric basket. My niece (12 years old) likes to sort through my scraps and IRON them. She loves to iron fabric. Too funny. After she visits (and before I start pawing through them again) I have the most well-pressed fabric bits around.

Have a good day.

BTW - your's are beautiful too!

Thank you for your welcome. I've added some photo's. Your quilts are beautiful! Now I am working on a play quilt for my youngest daughter, Nina. She is born with a brain injury and when it's finished, she can play outside.
Have a nice day.
