She must be a very special friend. When I look at the tools our foremothers had to use in creating their quilts, and compare them to all the tools we think we need today I just shake my head. So many quilters seem to be of the "make it as fast as possible" school. I often think they don't understand the sheer joy of working with small pieces one at a time to create a work of art such as this one. To use every scrap - sometimes piecing two or three together to get a piece big enough for the template to fit on. I don't know if we really have "come a long way baby" as quilters - compare this to what so many are creating today. In my mind there is no comparison at all. I so love the old quilts, and the more modern quilts made in the image of the antique quilts of old.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14458986.post-88313136111013006402007-03-16T22:06:00.000-05:002007-03-16T22:06:00.000-05:00What a great friend to give you such a jewel!

My yard looks about as bare as yours although we are bracing for a storm tonight. Supposed to get between 6 and 10 inches of snow. :c/ I never get too worried about these late season snow storms though as they have a tendency to go almost as soon as they come.tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869702375009787359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14458986.post-58254569916949142822007-03-16T11:28:00.001-05:002007-03-16T11:28:00.001-05:00Oh Finn -- me again - I decided to start at your f...Oh Finn -- me again - I decided to start at your first posts, since I enjoy your blog so much.
