You are the best!! :)<br /><br />I've been trying to search your website for any other references to your Scrap Crystals pattern but could not find a "Search" tab and not sure what book it is in. You usually say which book it is in or if the pattern is for sale on your site but I could not find it - This is a lovely pattern and I would like to add it to my "to do" list - any help would be appreciated.

You give so much joy to so many every day in your blog. I wish someone would come up with an app that would be able to block any posting that had certain phrases in it so you would not need to feel the pain that others seem to enjoy giving out with hurtful words. You have more appreciative followers than bullies. Please remember that when these hurtful people invade your in box.<br /><br />Quilt Hugs to you!!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219082337396129237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-10859388958073265602017-05-23T10:33:27.754-04:002017-05-23T10:33:27.754-04:00I look at your blog almost every day, love your qu...I look at your blog almost every day, love your quilts, and have a few in progress.

That's the time to rejoice and realize that our good idea has been validated; it IS a good idea.<br /><br /> And that's all that should count in the end, because when all is said and done, it IS just a quilt block.pdudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372143874425562139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-39417828075165535572017-05-23T08:18:08.407-04:002017-05-23T08:18:08.407-04:00Loved the slide show.

Sounds like this retreat Bonnie in the woods with such wonderful like minded people and fantastic lovely horses was just what you needed. I'm envious of mum and daughters sewing together I found quilting after my mum died so never got to share with her, but often think of her when I do sew. Awesome blocks ladies just love seeing all the colour combinations.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151260999195600500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-9023998139904952682017-05-23T05:01:27.569-04:002017-05-23T05:01:27.569-04:00What a wonderfully happy post.

I really appreciate all I've learned from you, and thank you for sharing so much of your life, plus quilting knowledge. I'm the proud owner of all of your books and own both of the University quilt classes. Having been in the quilt business for 24 years the fact is I didn't "need" these items. Rather I chose to have them because I want to support you as a humble and genuine quilt ARTIST. Thank you for the inspiration you give, there are thousands of us who admire you. I have "touted your horn" for two years since meeting you in Missouri during a two day class. I will continue to do that because you deserve all the accolades.

Fact: She's not!<br /><br />Lesson learned: Very few people think alike and some even work hard at seeing the bad, blowing up misunderstandings and spreading the word about the EVIL people around. You don't have to listen to them, not even out of respect, I cut all dead branches at once and never even give them a thought again ever after, and suggest you do the same with branches dying or already stone dead.<br />A scar of a small cut grows bigger if you keep on scratching, better forget, put on a band aid and just let it go.<br /><br />I read her blog and she repeats that "the bullying" has nothing to do with the quilt. So, why bringing the book/pattern up so many times? I don't really see where the bullying entered the stage? Difference of opinion, exchanged ideas claimed to belong to just one part, but bullying? I think this is a enormous exaggeration!<br /><br />Finally, I feel sorry that this happens in the wondeful world of quilting...<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Agneta in SwedenAgneta quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871982003331636410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-65849102086096548262017-05-22T15:48:21.502-04:002017-05-22T15:48:21.502-04:00I knew I wanted to try and join in this WA retreat...I knew I wanted to try and join in this WA retreat in 2 years even BEFORE the food was described!!!
