Yay vw! Yay Grandpa! That post made me break into spontaneous clapping.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Bobbi, that sounds amazing. What a wonderful collection you have there! Also, are you newish around here? I'm not sure I've "met" you. Hi!
Is your quilting by machine or hand stitched?
It is machine stitched. I don't have the time or patience or skill of a hand-stitch quilter. I wish I did. I've seen work by some amazing quilters...one that I know from my shop, and they are just something else.
Thanks, Laga! I was pretty pleased myself. As my SIL said, it's as close to saying, "I was wrong" as my grandpa will ever get.

Yes. I lurked intermittently for a year or more and finally registered fairly recently. Then I lurked some more before finally posting. Thanks!
And my hand stitching was truly awful. If I look at that quilt my mom, sister, and I did, I can point out my part way too easily. My sister has the skills but has, as an adult, stuck with the occasional blanket that she won't call a quilt. She did one for me and DH for our wedding gift.

Here's a picture of the quilt all tucked in and ready for my cousin to see: [link]
And here's the other quilt spread out for her to see: [link]
I wish I had pictures of her seeing them. Unfortunately, I got so excited about showing them to her that I forgot to take pictures. Oops.

I'm so pleased to read that grandpa finally sees your brilliance! Whee! I could hand stitch like mad in my youth, but no patience for that anymore.

They're beautiful, vw bug!
I just took a couple of pics of the two quilts my grandmother made for the doll bed. Here's a link.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Very pretty quilts. I have some of vw's handiwork!
Laura, have you ever read the book Woodswoman by Anne LeBastille? It's her autobiography--about how she builds her own cabin in the Adirondacks and lives by herself, becoming a trail guide. I was reading it today and thought of you. If you'd like, when I'm done with it, I can send it to you.

Thanks Cashmere. I don't usually read non-fiction, but I that sounds interesting. There are quite a few people like that up here. It is where I was raised and now a nice place to visit. I'm far too lazy to ever live here in the winter.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
vw - the quilts are wonderful. I wish I had that talent.
Am home from the picnic. Am sunburnt. Didn't cornhole, but I watched. One of the gals was upset because they were cornholing wrong. She taught them the right way.
Tired. So darned tired.
