I never win, but who ever does is always overjoyed! <br />Jeanne, I have not noticed any problems with auto post..but someone else on one of the photo challenges had a problem. It was going bonkers. She had some double posts. <br />Mary, I like hand sewing..well.. I tolerate it. It is that infernal sewing machine that drives me nuts. <br />Chance likes picnics, but that day I am pretty busy ..so he will probably stay at home especially if it is a really warm day. Poor boy, he does occasionally stay home alone..but not often:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-62497166658581869742009-06-28T22:31:58.079-05:002009-06-28T22:31:58.079-05:00Such a beautiful quilt.

She didn't fill it in but left it semi outlined. That is a neat thing you and your sister-in-laws are doing. I remember when my mom would quilt with a couple of ladies and they had the greatest of time, even though it was serious work.L.

Truly a family heirloom.<br /><br />My gramma made many quilts - appliqued and cross-stitch - all entirely by hand. I don't think she's ever used a sewing machine, or even owned one. She's still alive, 92, and living at her own home, but she's not able to make quilts any longer. I think I own 3 or 4. :) And I use them too. I kept them in the closet for years, and then finally thought, what am I saving them for??!Girl Tornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289862625817473671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-6377503146344825652009-06-28T16:31:36.480-05:002009-06-28T16:31:36.480-05:00Oh, my gosh, that's beautiful!
