They were very popular here several years ago and I saw them in craft shops and at craft shows. Crafts seem to have seasons. Actually I don't know what is the most popular these days as I don't attend so many craft shows anymore.Connie Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17272409521175383110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-43465257295550562382008-10-23T16:58:00.000+09:002008-10-23T16:58:00.000+09:00Beautiful work.

I would like to think that these women do have real lives, and maybe they have more self-control and can focus on one quilt at a time. I think that maybe it is my UFOs that keep me from making many masterpieces!Shastahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-2403674857234123182008-10-22T11:32:00.000+09:002008-10-22T11:32:00.000+09:00Such lovely quilts and exquisite workmanship!

Do I make a masterpiece, or do I make quilts to be used? The debate will go on forever, I think. One must decide what is important. I once heard of a masterpiece used by the recipient to catch the oil when he fixed his car. 'nuff said. The quilts you photographed are truly beautiful!Junehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13077207368935108279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-34087515590602216782008-10-21T19:55:00.000+09:002008-10-21T19:55:00.000+09:00Thank you, friend, for taking me along to this sho...Thank you, friend, for taking me along to this show.

Living here in Texas and recently retired, I have alot of quilting time on my hands and never enough to finish all that I wish to. I machine piece and have my projects machine quilted. It's faster but I do enjoy hand-quilting on ocassion.Rhondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06471317644488778051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-74694212604990143542008-10-21T12:21:00.000+09:002008-10-21T12:21:00.000+09:00Beautiful quilts, though.
