I am trying to get back into quilting again so it is great incentive for this procrastinator to get back into it. Have a great 60th Lorchen!!!

Rosemary, Have you been to the museum? Is it possible to see the quilt in person? How did Pam Holland do research for that replication of a really old quilt she did? I wish I could remember where I saw her talk about it. Lois

That was the museum Lorna & I visited in March, it is just over 25 miles from me. I think it was on display some years ago when I first visited, but whether I saw the original or the replica I don't recall. As the article states it is being carefully stored and will only come out on very special occasions. I don't know if you can make appointments to view it, but it is probably possible.

Just watched this show. IT WAS FUN!

I think that I have both brains too, But what I really need is a 'Get 'Er Finshed' brain! instead of a 'Lets Start Something New' brain. I've just decided to add making a copy of the 1718 Coverlet to my list of projects

http://www.quiltmuseum.org.uk/blog/quilt-history-articles/01265.html

Rosemary, That quilt is amazing. I think it might take a lifetime to collect and choose the fabrics. Have you started that? Lois

Half the life time will be taken up working out the design. Some of them are easy to see, but others are much harder and I don't have a good large picture of the piece. What I would like would be a book with the outline drawings of each block(pref to size) facing a colour photo of the block. The original was worked a piecing over papers, but I am sure that other methods would also work. The mildly annoying part is that the design has already been drawn up to make the copy.

Robin, we all give you permission to engage your right-brain next weekend. Hang loose and party! And if you need a reason: It'll be my birthday on Saturday.

Let's have a party for Lorchen. Wherever we are we will party for Lorchen and post how we celebrated. It's Mother's Day in the USA this weekend and since my kids are both far away and I don't want to grieve their absence (It's so hard not too.) I'd much rather celebrate Lorchen's birthday. Yeah! Now I know why I purchased that new hot pink jacket and crop pants. It's for Lorchen's birthday party. I can't wait. How are you going to celebrate Lorchen's birthday? I am going to do something completely and totally right brain and I will do something to anesthetize the left. Now how does a person anesthetize the left? Rita, any ideas?

Great idea, Lois!! And I'll bet Lorchen has some pretty good ideas about how to anesthetize the left brain

Perhaps something to do with single malt? (and I don't think that's a milkshake!). In any case, I'm definitely in!!

crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	I'm in for the party! Should I buy something hot pink, like Lois and cropped pants! Maybe I'll post a new pic of me with my new red glasses! We could all do "a something for Lorchen's BD project" and post it in show and tell, or send it to her ! Oh-oh, my right brain is working overtime!!!
