She had 2 different "ties" - 1 looked like a V the other was a simple knot with a tuft. She often used cordoroy mixed with novelty. Kids have a different eye for quilts - we LOVED everything she made!!! I love your donation quilt pattern - so easy to make and KID friendly!!! Isn't that the point? My son loves it when I back his quilts in flannel or fleece - soft and snuggly. Nana used that satin blanket binding on ours - and we loved to "finger" it as we went to sleep - wore them out and she would replace them!! Good job Bonnie!<BR/><BR/>And on friends - how wonderful to find a group of friends with similar interests to welcome you as a friend!!! Friends are priceless. Hold them dear.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/>EvelynEvelyn aka Starfishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025353776081066815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-72081852131918860682008-09-29T06:12:00.000-04:002008-09-29T06:12:00.000-04:00congratulations for having so many hands working o...congratulations for having so many hands working on the quilt, and for your new book, too.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633486962767539752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-58021460694081156882008-09-28T23:07:00.000-04:002008-09-28T23:07:00.000-04:00Bonnie, thanks so much!

I've never tied a quilt myself but one of the instruction sheets I want to write up is for tying HeartStrings quilts for people who don't have access to quilters who can machine quilt them. In the meantime, I'd love to share the photos of your group tying this quilt.Mary Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07801947879882584734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-64744454344837111212008-09-28T19:54:00.000-04:002008-09-28T19:54:00.000-04:00I have that same green frog fabric!I have that same green frog fabric!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379439921083262796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-57115545720792795762008-09-28T19:39:00.000-04:002008-09-28T19:39:00.000-04:00Sorry Bonnie, you won't tire me out with all these...Sorry Bonnie, you won't tire me out with all these lovely quilt pics lol,, and your sure are right, lots of hands..looks like everyone is having fun....keep on quilting...LiseLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157127576758573352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-36998645478997908922008-09-28T19:08:00.000-04:002008-09-28T19:08:00.000-04:00You have blessed this group likewise... thank YOU!...You have blessed this group likewise... thank YOU!Mrs. Goodneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453388163219666450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-41573045157744050092008-09-28T19:03:00.000-04:002008-09-28T19:03:00.000-04:00Fabulous to have a group of friends to do what you...Fabulous to have a group of friends to do what you love to do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515452957964923679noreply@blogger.com
