What a lovely memorial to your Dad. I love the fishing picture-we have a bunch of those around here. Several fishermen in the family.<BR/>B the way, from what I've seen of your work, I can't imagine why you don't think of yourself as a professional quilter. Your work is beautifully done. Maureen's quilt is an example of that.deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495753587207547865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-7633006211170360582008-10-30T09:09:00.000-05:002008-10-30T09:09:00.000-05:00Mary, I understand the agonizing because I too ago...Mary, I understand the agonizing because I too agonize over my quilts - BUT - I sure wish I could quilt like you do.

I come to your blog often and am always inspired. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate the patterns you post as well. I hate to put my heartstrings aside for a few days while I sew a Halloween costume and curtains for my bedroom window. <BR/><BR/>I was over ambitious and am trying to make two at the same time. I'll get them done, but I wanted them done sooner. I think in the future I will make some ahead of time to have a ready made comfort upon a shocking death. <BR/><BR/>My cousin and I are very close and he married a wonderful English woman who has become one of my best friends in my life. Her mother immigrated here to be closer to her two daughters. She was living with her other daughter. My cousin's mother-in-law and brother-in-law were in a car coming back from dinner and were hit by a drunk driver who was also on acid. They were both killed. <BR/><BR/>So I'm so upset for my cousin's wife Dee. She lost her mom and her brother-in-law in one night. Her mother was a neat lady who lived in England during the war and had such great stories to share over afternoon tea. We are really going to miss her.<BR/><BR/>I hope to someday soon be able to make blocks to send to your charity. I've been planning on it. I work part time in a quilt store and am trying to talk them into donating their strips and scraps to me so I can make strip blocks for charity. They were generous last week with their strips, but I didn't want to push my luck and sound greedy. LOL<BR/><BR/>Sorry this was long but I've been wanting to talk to you for awhile.<BR/><BR/>Kindest regards and many blessings to you.Sweet Woodruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926424938367611947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20278983.post-41323709615198922652008-10-30T07:25:00.000-05:002008-10-30T07:25:00.000-05:00I don't sew for other people, except really good f...I don't sew for other people, except really good friends, because of the agonizing factor. I agonize enough over my own quilts.
