Chatty,
My age made me forget where you'd posted this so I thanked you in another forum...anywhooo...I'm going to thank you again cuz you deserve it. Thank you and it's really a great catalog. Whoa...lots of idea, patterns, material, and it's making me want to get started quilting. Renee, on another forum is going to send a photo of a quilt that's in her family. I've got to do this in my lifetime...it's the only thing I haven't done that I really would like to do. Okay, once I finish wallpapering the two bedrooms, finish my son's memory book/scrapbook of his life and make my younger son a video tribute to him, I think I might be able to squeeze in the start of quilting. I was fortunate...my mamaw taught me to do the girly things from a very young age. I would sit on her lap while she guided my hands and together we would make little handkerchiefs on her foot-pedal singer sewing machine. She taught me to crochet and embroider and by the time I was 18 I was sewing well enough to make my wedding dress, veil and train...it was beautiful with all the seed pearls and lace. I made my children a lot of clothes as well as myself and sewed up until about 1989 when I got sick of it...took a break and started up again a couple of years ago...it's like riding a bike...as long as I have a good machine I can figure out most anything. But, I have to tell you, with the cost of fabric these days it's cheaper to just go out and buy stuff...but, then the boys can't say mama made it, either. Does anyone else here sew?
