I wish I had one 10th of your energy and focus!! LOVE everything! The pink quilt especially. But the choir directors quilt is amazing too. I never thought to buy the plaid shirts because I wondered about the fabric being older to start with but I may just have to reconsider and see what they keep at the thrift store. A small start couldn't hurt, right?Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059454522337423829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-78336952418613348302007-09-07T16:12:00.000-04:002007-09-07T16:12:00.000-04:00This quilt looks great.

I especially LOVE LOVE LOVE (can you tell I this idea is REALLY good?) the pillow strip with extra blocks - so very cool and a definite idea to copy on lots of different kinds of quilts.<BR/><BR/>We're still battling soggy floors and leaky windows with the floods so no quilting being done at my house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-42947616914326240782007-09-06T13:25:00.000-04:002007-09-06T13:25:00.000-04:00Bonnie,What gorgeous, gorgeous quilts!!!

It was fascinating to watch them work.<BR/>Anyway, I thought I might invite you and your readers BACK to Hilton Head Island Nov. 1-4 for the sixth annual Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance & Motoring Festival, which is a charity even benefiting the local Boys and Girls Clubs. The concours and festival features something for all ages and if very family friendly. Highlights will include Hilton Head/Savannah Historics vintage race days, a sports and classic car auction with The Worldwide Group, dozens of rare and exotic American and European sports cars, a unique display of antique fire engines and ambulances, vintage motorcycles, a men's and women's vintage clothing fashion show, antique and 'brass era' automobiles and the "Best in Show" competition with over 150 entries. For more information, please visit www.hhiconcours.com or markcnsghiltonhead.blogspot.com or call (843) 785-SHOW. Hope to see y'all here!<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>MarkMark Kreuzwieserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244126057867479687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70306852243187587752007-09-05T12:49:00.000-04:002007-09-05T12:49:00.000-04:00LOVE the 4-patch quilt... of course, that pink is ...LOVE the 4-patch quilt... of course, that pink is pretty much my signature color (GREAT choice!!)
