Thank you Christine, The design is printed on apiece of tea dyed muslin, and then layered with Warm-N-Natural prior to doing the embroidery, then pressed and another layer of muslin added to the back prior to doing the buttonhole stitching around ...
It was called the Quilt Cupboard when I owned it. I started it in 1998, and sold it in 2001 Yes, I am really looking forward to the Mn Quilt Show. It is bringing back some memories though. I was to Rochester one time before for the MN Quilt Show just as a quilt lover. But I sprained my ankle the night before, and went anyway. It was kind of nice because the gals I went with gave me front door service whereever we went. I wrapped my foot and poushed it into a tennis shoe and hobbled around but took advantage of a chair when ever I spotted one. We also ate at a Chinese restuarant when we were there and it was the best Chinese food I habe ever eaten, so I am hoping it is still there.I don'r recall anything about a poem, but it could have been. I can't wait until after the show, then I will have a little more time to check this site out. Thanks for the good luck wishes.
Hi Carol,
I am going back through e-mails and came across the "rapid exchange" of messages we had a couple of weeks ago. All of a sudden I remembered that I had told you about Stitchin Fingers so thouhght I'd check it out and see if you were here! And you are! I am curious - what was the name of the quilt shop you owned? I sent a copy of a quilting poem that I wrote to a shop owner in the New London area and it got me to wondering if it was you? I am not sure I will make it to the MN Quilters show. We have almost every family birthday and community celebrations in the next two weeks!! Hope you have a good time and lots of sales when you're at the show.
Well, so nice to meet you again, In this venue. One of the things I miss the most about having the quilt shop is the contact that I had with customers. They were all wonderful people. Sometimes when I run into them now at different places, I always remember the face but not always the name, but if they picked out a project to work at the shop and I helped them I can remember exactly what the project was right down to the fabric they selected, and they are always amazed by that, so am I!! It's weird but I have always thought that I had a "photographic" memory. This looks like such an exciting site. I am doing the MN Quilt Show in June and am really busy so don't have a lot of time to check it all out now, but will after the show.
I am from Atwater, MN I have worked on a block of the month -embroidery flowers-you have designed. I have met you at meetings, quilt shows, and at the Flying Goose.
