This is another open thread for quilters today. About the title, after the sponsor’s message,
DK Quilt Guild is a place for quilters to gather, share ideas, projects, and to make the world a better place, one quilt at a time. Join us and share your thoughts, projects, questions, and tips. Quilters here are at many different levels of skill. Beginners and non-quilters are welcome, too.
Would you like to write a future DK Quilt Guild diary? We NEED writers! Your diary can be elaborate and full of photos, a simple story of your own quilting history or that of someone you love, a discussion of a current project or a technique you're learning, new adventures... You could post quilt retreat-day recipes (things like crockpot meals, so food appears without much attention from you)... We could do show and tell or open thread, also, but either way, we need diarists to host. It is EASY if you're willing to take the chance. Please join in! Please volunteer within the comments or you can send Pam from Calif a kosmail.
I was in the chair at my sister’s salon, getting my hair cut and colored. My daughter had come in after work to visit and my sister decided to put some purple streaks in her hair. So we were cooking and chatting about my brother in law. Lil Zen and I think he is the bee’s knees and my sister is telling us he is actually PigPen, stuff falls off him when he walks, he can’t feed himself or get the laundry done, all the things we bag about that don’t mean anything but we vent. Then she said “Most evenings, I am in my jammies and sox, sitting on the couch, watching a little TV, wrapped up in the blanket Katie (that’s me) made for me.”
It was not an earth shaking statement but boy, how it warmed my heart to hear she used it on a daily basis in the fall and winter. Very few of my quilts are in family hands and that they are used brings me joy.
