Lotti, it is nice to see you here again. Love your pictures and have missed you on here for quite a while. Glad you are back. Margarita

Fabulous work Lotti, I particular like your giant triangles! Nice to see you back on the Forum.

Mission accomplished! We got you back. Can't wait to see what that new camera and lens will find next.

Lotti,

It's so good to "see" you here! I've missed you and your wonderful pictures. Your quilts are awesome. So full of color and life. Love, it!

I covet your thread cabinet. Hmmm.... what is your address?

Take care! geneva

Wow Lotti those colours and everything Rita said.

What a feast of beautiful photos Lotti, and fabulous quilts. I particularly love the first one. Your thread box is gorgeous as are the sewing machines. And your flower photos are always the best.

I have already made a lighthouse for Lorchen so I won't do another one. But I might see her at FoQ if I make it this year.

Thanks wendy, actually those were last year's quilts...
The three that made it to canada are coming up here - and i'll be doing a few more along this line... Absolutely loving these giant triangles and trying to do a whole quilt with no duplicates...



I did take individual pictures, but those must be in my computer...
Will update hopefully tomorrow

Aw I've missed your flowers. Those quilts must be the ones you were rushing to get done for your friends. Very Lottie

And i totally missed out on saying:
THANK YOU ALL for being there with me on my unbirthday. I had invited Terrie and asked her to 'be my local representative' for all my TQS friends, and what did she do? She found a way to bring you all with her! Three cheers for Terrie
Life is GOOD! And it is sooooooo good to be a part of it!

Norma, that lighthouse is a stunner--absolutely beautiful. I'm in, so now have to find a good image.

Lotti, you always look like you're having a blast no matter what you're doing. Your work this past year is so colorful and fun to see. Glad you liked your lizards.

Glad to see you again Lotti, and also to view your latest quilts, the colours are so joyful. Sorry to hear that you have been having 'technical' difficulties.

Dearest Lizards
You are all absolutely insane - and positively the "bestest" of all! I love you all - and as you could see from Terrie's posts - you reallly realllllllly made my day! Although we had specified 'absolutely NO prezzies' for our unbirthday, there was no way i would send Terrie back home with these lovelies!!!
They're now hanging on my design wall in my living room (yes there are three muggies from the exchange here as well - the others are all at the office)...


Poor Walter was so busy taking pictures of me, terrie, and the fabulous lizards, i think he was too late for the cake... I definitely owe both him and Terrie ... (As i'm unfortunately one of the very few people that really don't care for chocolate cake, i can't have it in their name...)

Another friend and family disregarded the 'no prezzies' creed - but they gave me their prezzie(s) a couple of days earlier...
Meet Jilly (and my older friend Scottie - who is now also harboring the rosemary's lounging lizard)...


And my fabulous new thread-box - i have always coveted one just like it at our local museum


Yes, i have been rather busy, and i can't seem to get on te forum with my phone - the ipad works - but that unfortunately is on it's last throws (having trouble charging and other stuff - but as i just spent all the money i saved to buy a new lens for my camera for lenses to actually see with - i now have to start saving again - and that camera lens is so much more important than the ipad...)

I have had so much fun reading this topic - it really calls for more...
I am definitely making more of an effort to not just quickly look into facebook but take more time and visit with you on a regular basis...

I'm definitely in on the lighthouse - mmmmh - probably not a problem if we have two interpretations of the peggy's cove lighthouse, it's the only one i know first hand.

Yes, i'm still quilting - not as much as i would like to - but the place is chock full of fabrics and thread - and some actually gets used
Here a few samples from the past year...











Will be back ...
Big hugs, huge thanks and much love to you all
:0) lotti

P.s. A quick note to my fellow mug-rug-exchangees - yes, i still owe some of you muggies - yes, i know who you are and i have not forgotten - i will do my utmost to ship them out still in this decade...

I'm agree with Rosemary and Lois.

Me too Lois, but she seems to be happy and having fun. I can't begrudge her that. I do wish she would pop in from time to time just to say Hi.
