I find working on pineapple crazy very relaxing- which surprised me. <br /><br />Thank you for your grace and compassion for your little quilting problems in the Wanderlust class in Bedford, PA on Aug. 31st. Our hearts all ached for you but we were respectful of the wise instructions of Mary K. to keep our conversations centered on quilting. Happy Quilting.

And how the graphics of the day did a little octagon angle thing whenever the pipes had to turn a corner? That's what your lovely Serpentine Web quilt has reminded me of since you started showing us the layout. Cool!! I always found that screen saver oddly mesmerizing, and it's fun when a quilt makes us think of something unexpected from everyday life.<br /><br />I'm a longish but doable drive from Winterset, and just might make the trek for the chance to see Pineapple Crazy up close and in person. Looking forward to ordering the new book when you're ready, and hoping to catch you in Omaha next week.

Then you posted about String Frenzy, and well that ban got thrown out the window. I am busy making quilt tops from fabric on hand, so that I can build my stash of scraps. I am so glad that you explained what "buying from you vs. buying from Amazon" means. I'm looking forward to ordering your book. I and many others appreciate all of your hard work.

Obviously, it is less expensive for us, but that just doesn't seem right to me. 90 cents is not enough reimbursement to you for the effort you put into each book. For crying out loud, I *save* more than that if I buy from Amazon! Which goes to tell you, how much must go directly into the pocket of the world's richest man? Not that I have anything against him, but he doesn't need to profit from your books, too. I'll make my purchases from you.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-75227689704584260642018-10-02T23:37:44.956-04:002018-10-02T23:37:44.956-04:00Achhh!

I went through Winterset and the museum on my way home from dropping my youngest at college in August—too bad your quilt wasn’t there yet....I would’ve loved to see it in person. It’s a quaint town and I went to see the local quilt shop and John Wayne too.<br />Looking forward to the new book and doing another “stringer”....they’re addictive!Gimmeclemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233571634439202673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-57720202265516416972018-10-02T16:07:23.547-04:002018-10-02T16:07:23.547-04:00Got my Irish Courthouse pattern yesterday.

What a fun block to make and goes together so easily. Not fond of working with 1.5 inch strips, but every row gives me a chance to check my accuracy and I am loving the pattern.

I will have no pedal to the sewing machine pedal or the car for at least another week and a half so reading your activities cheers me up. This would be a good time to sit and maybe do some scrap sorting getting ready for better things.
