What a lovely quilt you are working on. It is so nice to have friends and family who share your passion and like to get together. I think the QuiltingBee should make a comeback.

I am color challenged and she would put all the colors together for me. I am slowly getting used to her not being here physically, but her ashes have a place of honor in my sewing room. Hold tight to all of your sisters and quilting friends!!! Penni

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose her. I'm glad you have wonderful memories to hold on to. I know I cherish the times we get together, then things we have been through, and the memories we are making. God Bless.

The frames belong to my sister's friend. Her husband made them out of 1 x 2 pieces of wood. He also made legs that slide back and forth so we could adjust the size to fit the quilt we were working on. He put small nails around the edges of the wood so all 3 layers could be hooked on together. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll try to get more info for you. It really worked wonderful.
