Thanks for all the fun Bridget!! It was neat having a little peek into everyone's life. I was wondering how you and some of the others grouped your photos together and uploaded just one group shot instead of one at a time?

Bridget...I just wanted to say thanks for all the fun we had in the UGH club. So..."Thanks!"
And there are some pretty funny quilters out there...you made me .

25. This wallhanging was only intended to temporarily hang in the room we use in school to calm down our special needs kids when they 'kick off', but students, staff and parents like it so much that it been there now for over two years. All the fish are made from fabric scraps that I was given (or scrounged) from quilting friends. As a result all these fish have names (of course ).

23. Not quite a child, but I was less than half of what I am today, and hot pants were 'in' for the first time.


24. My favourite place to sit is anywhere, as long as family or friends are next to me, for example here with TQS members:


21. I usually store batting under my cutting table, but there is a large empty space right now, because I have almost run out (Note to myself: 'Order batting!')

22. Something embellished: I made this for a challenge (15 Years of the Quilt Art internet group). I marbled the fabric that looks like Barbarella would appear any second. It's my idea of an arty swamp. And lots of little artists (the smiley faces) are emerging from the swamp and rising towards the sunshine and international recognition and happiness.

Mary, I love your favourite place, and you were a mega-cute baby!

I just want to say a big "THANK YOU" to Bridget for coming up with this little adventure for us. For me it was not only a distraction from NOT GETTING TO GO TO HOUSTON, but a wonderful trip down memory lane as well. And I very much enjoyed everyone else's postings as well. Thanks to all who participated.

Now, if someone could just distract me from having to go to work tomorrow!

My batting is just tossed into the closet haphazardly.
Do buttons on the chicken's eye count as embellishments?
A picture of me as a child - I was 5 and I think I ASKED for that haircut!?
Favorite place to sit (when not at my Bernina) - just the loveseat in our great room.
The quilt I just love - This was made for me by my Great Aunt when I was very young. I remember going to her house (Snow Camp, NC, no indoor bathroom at the time!) and being allowed to choose the backing fabric myself. My favorite color is turquoise so that's what I chose. You can see a little of it because she wrapped it around to the front for the binding. I spent many hours as a child and young adult snuggled up in this quilt. After I got married I put it away because I didn't want it to wear out.

My favorite place to sit (when I'm not at my sewing machine, that is!) is right where "X marks the spot!"
And finally, it's so hard to choose a favorite, but I think this would be it - made in remembrance of our favorite vacation - Turkey.

Here's my Sunday list! I do have a nice tall cupboard to store things in now, including my batting.
In Sweet Adelines, it's all about the bling! I made this blouse in our chorus colors for a concert a while back.
This picture shows me with my mom and my paternal grandmother (Nannie) when I was about 18 months old.{!-- ia0 -->mom,nannieandme.jpg{!-- ia0 -->

My final entries!

Hi Pam. My pincushions are the same underneath, but the colors are placed opposite. It is quite interesting to see, what happens when you change the placement of the colors.

My batting is in plastic bags in a corner of the sewing room behind the door
I have no embellished quilts
I don't have a child photo of me at hand
I like all my quilts, but this small one was a very happy one to make, so it's my choice today
Favorite place is at my sewing machine, but I think I spend more time in my red couch with the laptop, my knitting and some embroidery. Here is a picture of me with my favorite child
