Dear Merrilyn

Thanks for your message.

I'm sure your neice would have really appreciated your gift of the flowering gums. I can only hoped it may have helped her recovery.

Your work is lovely. I am still improving my sewing skills since I retired and it very helpful to see what others can do.

Hi Marrilyn!  Thanks for writing!  The blocks are six inches.  I'm not sure how big it will end up.  I have blogged a little about the development of the idea at my blog http://theshopsampler.wordpress.com.

These blogs will focus on the stitches from TAST, but will also have a connection to "attachments" to keep me thinking about the Buddhist principle of Non-attachment.  Somewhat tongue in cheek perhaps, but each block will display a mechanism of attachment, buttons, snaps,  maybe some frogs...

I'll have fun with it!  And very much needed to have some fun when this idea was conceived!  Join me!  We can start a TAST Quilt Six Inches at a Time Group!

Hi Marrilyn, the seam treatments on this quilt are worked with the charted borders from my E Book, Elegant Crazy Quilt Seam Treatments.  The technique uses Waste Canvas and charted border patterns to create perfectly sized and spaced stitches.

Hi Merrilyn

I eventually found your email in my Junk file - so you have been retrieved and added to the safe senders list!

I have never been into the message section of Stitchin Fingers before so thank you for opening up my eyes!

"Have checked out the rope stitch instructions and it is a stitch I haven't come across before either - good luck with it.

Cheers

Helen

Hi Merrilyn, I had a thought about my embroidery group after attending a meeting yesterday, we have a website that you may like to look at,(www.maitlandembroiderers.com) I know that soon the pictures will be changed. I was wondering if you are involved with any emb. groups in your area. And no, I am not in any of the photos(thankfully, wouldn't want to traumatize anyone). I hope you find this interesting, as I love to see what others are doing in the emb. world.

Hi Merrilyn, hope you are well, I have almost finished the pillow cases I have been working on, what have you been working on, you do such lovely work.

Hi Merrilyn, I have been finishing ufo's (New Years Reso.) but I think a cp quilt will be this years major work. I would also like to do TAST 2010.

Thank You Merrilyn.I like ur crochetworks..we used to mix doll crochet as a part in our embroidery
