Margo, I love your new photo.
Happy quilting

Keith, I finally got around to read that wonderful article, and also found the older one on the QN website. Please, adopt me! Lots of us could do with a family like yours!

My issue of QN arrived yesterday, so first thing I did was to read about Keith's family. What a wonderful story! None of my relatives quilt, so I too am a bit envious of the wonderful camaraderie your family shares, Keith. I didn't know that Eddie quilts, too! Thank you to you and your family for being willing to be shared. You have been an inspiration to me since I first became aware of you on TQS. Big hugs, Robin

Hi Barb! I'm glad you and everyone enjoyed the article. I am so blessed to have our family. I think QN did us right.

How fun, Lotti! We haven't thought about adopting in a while - perhaps we should get married first...

Hi Heartnsoulquilts! No, my sister is Kristi Hammer. And we're all domestic machine quilters - she did have a DMQ business for 8 or 10 years but then having children interfered a little...

Thanks for your comments everyone!

Hi Keith I did see the Quilter's Newsletter article, I really enjoyed reading about your family retreats and your quilting adventures! I took over the weekend to our get away and read cover to cover. Thought the thread article timely for the recent discusion on the forum too.

Fabulous quilts, great article! And fab family traditions. Can I gat adopted?
I also enjoyed the 1995 article ... Thank you for sharing more of your life with us.

Havn't had a chance to read the rest of the mag yet, but seems to be a good article on threads including their thread survey/test.
Quite happy I got that digital subscription, think I've spend many a dollar a less productive way

I don't subscribe anymore. Darn it. But I will ask around at guild to see if I can borrow this issue... I am so curious to read all about this quilting family!

And Keith... you said you have a sister named Kristi. I know a Kristi who is a fabulous award winning longarmer... Kristi Hawkins. Is she your sister??

Thanks for letting me toot my family's own horn!

And no, Rita, it's not working for me anymore either. My arms are going steadily downhill - I hate those reminders. =)

Oh dear, my copy hasn't arrived yet, but now I'm really eagerly awaiting it!

I looked for it at Joann's today, but didn't see it.

Nancy

I quit receiving that one too--guess I will have to go out and look for it.

I don't get that one any more, but will look for it at the local bookstore! This makes you more famous!! Hugs....

Keith, do you think I could get arms like that from pushing large quilts through my domestic machine, I could really do with better looking upper arms. I loved reading both articles and seeing all the quilts and I really envy you having a family who share in your passion for quilting.

Keith, what an inspiring article. As a person with a very small family, I gotta say I found myself a might bit envious of the family life portrayed.

Thanks to Lotti, I have renewed my digital subscription which allows us to see your previous article and family photos.
Thanks, Keith, for pointing the way!
