If you find yourself needing to kill a few minutes in an airport or whatever, and you want an antique quilt fix, check out www.quiltindex.org/. I've been looking at it a few minutes at a time for days, and still haven't even gotten through the ones from the State Hist. Soc. of Iowa. So many beauties, and several that remind me a lot of favorite Bonnie patterns.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232459401326203771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-72384172877161279722011-03-17T10:07:22.906-04:002011-03-17T10:07:22.906-04:00I want to THANK YOU for taking us along on your tr...I want to THANK YOU for taking us along on your travels.

I hear ya when it comes to the China-made American Folk Art that floods our markets and hurts the cottage industries in our country and the crafters who depend on income from the folk art they create.<br /><br />We all need to make a commitment to boycott Chinese goods.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003204378492456488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-5403438451222101252011-03-17T02:45:20.315-04:002011-03-17T02:45:20.315-04:00Aaahh my favourite place the smokies and the antiq...Aaahh my favourite place the smokies and the antique shops!
