Perhaps many quilters will leave UFO's that will inspire those that come after them to share and sew into quilts. I am so thankful you shared with me.Connie Rheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18190664977481193659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45651389387970815352013-05-29T23:01:25.309-04:002013-05-29T23:01:25.309-04:00Dear JaneB,

We have modern sewing machines, so much available fabric, irons that heat up without building a fire in the woodstove, lots of choices of thread, and most of all, all our labor-saving devices that give us the TIME to quilt, too.Vic in NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552281371631960555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-11304248179555659142013-05-21T23:05:33.509-04:002013-05-21T23:05:33.509-04:00The colors are so vibrant!
