My feline son crossed the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 17-1/2 on December 12, 2019. It's hard to put into words how much I miss my baby boy. Seeing pictures of Dresden is such a beautiful gift. It gives me another chance to imagine my Toby back with me again exploring what project his mama is working on. Oh such beautiful memories ................ thank you so very much.

I am always challenged by the best location to start, how many directions to proceed from etc. to make things work out. Can you show how you position borders in hoops for hand quilting. Maybe this would be a fun quiltcam topic.Rachel Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365962868113712204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-51575264987719424822020-02-04T12:33:30.135-05:002020-02-04T12:33:30.135-05:00I love reading your posts daily.

I think of it as "becoming", as we grow and age we become someone different from the person we were when we were younger. Someone better, more confident, less afraid to make mistakes. I made the big shift a year ago to retire (at age 70) and devote my time to quilting and patriotism. After 50+ years as a nurse and nurse practitioner, it was a huge shift, but I'm having a wonderful time. Making your quilts has been so far out of my comfort zone it's exhilarating. Thanks for being my inspiration.

However you set them will be awesome. The green border on Jack's Delight is just right, looks great.

The green finishes it off very nicely. I was happy to get the block pattern in this issue of Quiltmaker. Of course I'll be trying to figure out the math to sew those HST from strips, like I'm sure you did :-) Here's to hoping the Sugar Loaf block pattern will be coming our way soon, too.
