We both love, love the free motion quilting around Miss Ruth and her 3 sisters. And love the tree trunks with vertical and horizontal quilting. This new concept of quilting is so creative, and unlike anything I have ever seen. I'm thinking you might be inspiring me. Kathy and I are going to Charleston on Monday, and now I'm more determined than ever to find a fabulous piece of vintage fabric for you. Yesterday we spent the afternoon antiquing in Georgetown and I found an old yoyo runner which I would like to turn into a hanging for my bedroom - similar to the flying geese piece you made for me that Graham finished off as a wall hanging. Now I'm dying to get home and see you face-to-face so we can talk quilting and other such stuff. Love you like crazy.

As are yours, Ruth. Yet another creative endeavor for you and it sounds like it has some juice for you. Nice. I have no sewing skills but greatly admire quilts.

Maybe in Words with Friends I was a little slow? Yes, I've been lost in this, happily. I did not realize Astrid also sews, what a pair you are. I can totally see you making quilts if you had another lifetime, with great artistry and precision. Talk with you in a few hours!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048020455098091620.post-40042582497086584032014-03-12T05:44:51.755-04:002014-03-12T05:44:51.755-04:00Deb, I wish we could sit with coffee and talk quil...Deb, I wish we could sit with coffee and talk quilts (and many other things). Quilting is like painting for me, and now that I've discovered the wonky improv style, I am so happy. I did love the very precise piecing too, but maybe life just shifted for me, because now that doesn't appeal to me. Thank you for kind words, and for the way you put love out in the world. I receive so much from you. xoRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048020455098091620.post-28623054228205766262014-03-11T13:27:04.570-04:002014-03-11T13:27:04.570-04:00Oh, H E L L O!

Astrid has a good one, too, and will love seeing what you've done here. BRAVA! I love you and your creativity.

Soon here as well as I have the desire to quilt but when I free motion I have to rig the darning foot with an elastic and in general it is a bit clunky. I just finished a navajo/aztec inspired one as a request by my daughter and the more exact measuring also doesn't appeal to me, although I do enjoy stacked coins or bricks but still can't avoid wonky :) Love them that way anyway. Again, so in awe of all you do Ruth. You are an artist in every fibre of your being xo<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924061349390319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048020455098091620.post-46324565761852661662014-03-11T07:41:22.145-04:002014-03-11T07:41:22.145-04:00Thank you so very much for your encouragement, Jea...Thank you so very much for your encouragement, Jean!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048020455098091620.post-52219924835668565532014-03-11T07:29:58.284-04:002014-03-11T07:29:58.284-04:00So very beautiful!
