I would have enjoyed your precise piecing class - I can always learn more! Your retreat sounds like it was fun - I am so happy that you have met some new quilting friends and maybe a guild. I just returned from 3 days of sewing with friends - a very welcome respite for me right now. It was great. ~JeanneRay and Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16016180736310628859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-55129368732725695802014-04-13T14:45:00.792-05:002014-04-13T14:45:00.792-05:00What a treasure to have one of your mother's q...What a treasure to have one of your mother's quilts.

First the quilt of your mom's is sooo neat. Was she a quilter too? Did she make this? And then, all the classes you got to take...how fun, and how informative I am sure they were. I am really like the block you are putting together for yourself. I am trying to decide what quilt to do next. It is time to start one for myself this time I think. And as for the quilting guild, I would LOVE that! How many times I have wished we lived near each other so that we could enjoy these things together. But it is nice to have blogging friends I can visit and see their work and hear their triumphs and struggles. Enjoy your week-end! Oh, and that cupcake is quiet cute. Sounds like a good place to visit!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-80468175347374754612014-04-12T11:05:31.927-05:002014-04-12T11:05:31.927-05:00Oh I am so jealous!!!
