Just so my DH and anyone else who happens by understands, I put up a magnetic sign on the refrigerator that says, "I understand the concept and cleaning and cooking, just now how it applies to me." Kinda of a joke in our house since, like all of you, I do the cleaning and cooking  Jane, Sorry to hear that you do the cleaning and cooking, (unless of coarse you love that kind of thing LOL) I make everyone help, I tell them I am doing it for their own good. I say, " what if I'm not here and you didn’t wash any clothes, you would have to go naked to work in the morning!" LOL, anyway, guys hate it but they are really good about helping out (once in a while)… I am not over bearing about it, I just expect them to help me with things once in a while, because they expect me to help them with things... I think we are pretty well rounded... Besides what if something did happen to me, then what??? When you said you put up a sign I had to laugh because our DD gave her Grandma (his side) a sign for her kitchen, It said “I don’t repeat gossip, so listen good the first time” She wasn’t even offended! Go figure! Only a grand daughter could have gotten away with that! |

Bren I am glad that you got to the bottom of the problem with posting a photo on your blog. That has happened to me a couple of times too. And I don't know how to change the image size either.
 It sounds like you are working very hard at the moment. But thanks for mentioning the tractors because you just reminded me that I need to clean my car today as it has an NCT (National Car Test) early next week and today is the only day I have time to do it. I hate housework/carwork! I will do any amount of standing at the ironing board pressing itty bitty pieces of fabric for quilting without a grumble but moan and groan out loud when I have to do housework.  |

Hi...I was a bit curious about the reels travels
, too. But I was more interested in knowing where we get the reel quilt pattern to put our blocks together after we get them. I went to Edyta's site and did not see a pattern for the reels. Do we just make up our own?This has probably been covered but I am not on enough to get all the news. Thanks for helping! |

Hi, Jeanne! How wonderful that you will enjoy the beautiful CW quilt that your mom is making for you. You are right, it it time-intensive to make each CW. It also takes a lot of fabric to make, but I love the fact that your mom has a method for keeping everything organized and moving forward quickly. It will be something you will cherish for a long time!
 I am very happy for you!Renata |

Oh Renata I love the story of being with your Mom while she worked! How great to have a sloper made just for you. She sounds like a wealth of knowledge! She really is, Karen, and I wish I had paid a little more attention when I was younger...  I'm just lucky that she is still willing and able to teach me.Renata Renata, Beautiful pillow. I like the quilting too. My mother learned garment sewing and quilt from her Mother in the early 1900's. Mother said when she was a little girl in 1930's she would be the one to sit under the table at the quilting bees and push the needle through for her mother and friends. Wonderful stories, smelly feet |

Jeanne, your mother's work is just beautiful! Please pass on my compliments. I made a cushion cover once for my mother and that was enough for me. This is such a labour intensive pattern but I know there are ways of doing it now that are a lot easier. Here's the cushion I made. This was back in the days when I used any fabric I could find so the border fabric is poly-cotton and the sky through the windows is cotton batiks. I don't know if my mother has ever washed it but I don't fancy it's chances. DSCF0064.JPG Rita, Beautiful CW pillow. Oh you gave me a great idea on how to make mine. Thank you for sharing. It is labor intensive. When Mother showed me the process, I was overwhelmed. She did give me a copy of directions from a 1979 magazine. Thank you |
