Re: I'm making a quilt???

Well, a wallhanging.
I have a friend who quilts, and on our 4 woman irregular getaways to Moose
Jaw she loves to browse the quilt shops. Last time one of the others broke
down and bought a kit. But I know myself--I cannot cut 72 of piece B from
fabric 6.

But they got me eventually. I bought the neatest little kit for an
appliqued and quilted little wall hanging of 3 turtles swimming. all the
fabrics are batiky, in greens, blues, golds and purples. And I started
today. I cut and bonded the turtle bits to the backing fabric, after
deciding to use the wrong side of that rather than the right side, as it was
more watery.
Now comes the fun bit--embroidering round the shells with blanket stitch, I
will probably add some other embroidered details too.
Then I will have to deal with the dreaded sewing machine, so be prepared for
demands for handholding and serious cursing.

Neither can I. Borrrrring.

So, I acquired, at a yard sale, pre-cut Dresden Plate pieces. And 20
years later, with only 3 plates assembled, sent the whole kit&kaboodle
to a friend who quilts.

Never fear. I will be on the next plane with a case of good California
wine and a few pounds of good California cheese. The louder you curse,
the faster I pour.

Well, not the cheese, but you can probably sneak the wine in. Can I
come, too? I'll bring Prince Edward County cheese and wine.
(I can just see the quilt now :))
