On the ad for it they showed pictures of TWO Singer treadle machines. I really wanted to buy one, but they were in really poor condition and I have no clue what-so-ever one how to go about restoring one. I drooled though, believe me.claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-91371759049583086652018-06-09T15:28:14.479-04:002018-06-09T15:28:14.479-04:00Bonnie, I hope you think My wanting to be you is e...Bonnie, I hope you think My wanting to be you is encouraging and not creepy/stalker-like.

My sister passed in February due to breast cancer. I wanted to do something special for her celebration of life so I decided to paint mandala stones so every one at the service could place a stone in the meadow where her ashes were spread. It took three months to paint all the stones. About a week ago I went into my quilting room and there was a beautiful smell of fabric that made this great desire to get back to it. I was able to get going again last week. Oh how I missed it. Rest in peace sweet sister.40hoppiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590829888415436568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-15998404129195152812018-06-09T10:29:01.636-04:002018-06-09T10:29:01.636-04:00Hi Bonnie!

Make me feel like I'm right there walking alongside with you! I'm so excited for your Quiltville Inn adventure and although I know it's a lot of work, it will be so wonderful when it's complete.I don't know how you get so much accomplished every day but I admire your organization and ability to get things done! You really are amazing! I'm hoping to take one of your classes and get the opportunity to see you in person but just through quilt cam and your columns I feel like a friend and fellow quilter. I too love the solitude of being way out in the country! I'm not big on TV or internet use so that won't hurt my feelings at all not having much availability. I can picture evenings out on that beautiful porch in a rocking chair, drinking tea, and chatting and laughing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings! Morning coffee on the porch and listening to the birds chirp while starting the day before everyone wakes up - heavenly! Thank you for being you and sharing yourself with all of us!<br />DianeDiane Downeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429502900991919596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-12667803001354877182018-06-09T09:33:25.619-04:002018-06-09T09:33:25.619-04:00I have a bit of trouble working in my sewing room-...I have a bit of trouble working in my sewing room- its a mess!

I love your photographs of the beautiful landscapes and old buildings. I would absolutely LOVE to be able to join you at your retreat one day,but living in South Africa has is drawbacks....its too far away! :) Please never stop taking your beautiful photographs because if nothing else they start my day with such joy!! Thank you for all your inspiration, I work very slowly on my quilts, but love every one of them.

On one line I always put the quilt design of Bonnie's it was made from. If from her book I reference that, if a mystery I reference that as well as the year, a magazine, freebie, whatever the source include it.

For example, I am planning to do a Floribunda, with lilac as the solid color. I would like to call my quilt, "Peeking Through the Lilacs"...But somehow that feels like I would be robbing from your inspiration. Maybe: "Peeking Through the Lilacs, variation of Floribunda pattern by Bonnie K. Hunter" A lot to put on a label, but I'd like to give credit where credit is due...Any comments, anyone? kck83https://www.blogger.com/profile/06084440938050825664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88617991137330739822018-06-08T20:49:35.511-04:002018-06-08T20:49:35.511-04:00I had 5 days at a contra dance camp in the "w...I had 5 days at a contra dance camp in the "wilderness" of Denali National Park over last weekend - no cell service, no internet, no electricity or running water in the cabins.

I absolutely love your scrappy block patterns and the three color ways you share with us!<br />On another note: as an avid motorcyclist myself, I was wondering if you actually DRIVE the one you are sitting on....or if you are 'posing'? The comfy back seat (complete with armrests) might be a hint! But then again---maybe not! However, I am sure you enjoyed your ride no matter whether you were in the driver's seat or the passenger's seat! :) <br />Marcia Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467980261022492934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-84754867399658056182018-06-08T14:17:30.563-04:002018-06-08T14:17:30.563-04:00looks and sounds perfect, enjoy your day and hope ...looks and sounds perfect, enjoy your day and hope you have a lovely evening xxxAnne Haywardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938368580671004796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-78856868575861794302018-06-08T14:12:22.088-04:002018-06-08T14:12:22.088-04:00I love to read your letter and get much encouragem...I love to read your letter and get much encouragement out of it.
