Hi Jim:  I love quilts, I've never made one but I really love all of the little pieces put together, really amazing when you think of all of the work that goes into a quilt.

Jim, a friend of mine makes quilt...but, I could never sit still long enough to put all the pieces together.  The quilt pictured in this post is beautiful.

This reminds me of a couple of quilt projects I started and of course, never finished.  I wish I had the time to work on them again.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by and took the time to comment. I appreciate it.

I’ll read through all the comments to see if any of them need a specific response. If so, I’ll respond below this comment. Otherwise, since I like to return comment for comment, I'll be by your blogs soon to do a little reading and commenting. I find that a better way to acknowledge you stopping by and commenting on my blog.

Tammy – Give Russel and me a call. Maybe we can do a meal or something.

Rebecca  and Kathleen – Thanks. That quilt was a Christmas present to me on my first Christmas with Russel. I had always wanted a nice quilt but they were way beyond my financial means.

Hi Jim, Quilts always draw admirers.  I enjoy seeing quilts not far from here in Lancaster County.   So much work go into them even if they are done on a sewing machine. 

Have a great holiday weekend!
