    It would be nice to have the fancy machines, matching cabinets and tables, etc., but I'd rather have the money to buy more fabric and patterns to make quilts. What I have is not fancy, but functional.

    I get a little jealous sometimes but then I know I am blessed to have what I have. It is like having food on the table. There are so many people who have less so yes I am always thankful for everything.

    I so agree!!! We all have a certain love or passion here & that is all that matters. When I started in '97 I did not have a Rotary Cutter & had no clue how to use one. Used scissors and made templates out of cereal boxes. Hey it worked!!!

    ejpkam, I'm amazed at what ladies did years ago without the fancy equilment that we have, today. Dear Jane is a good example of a quilt that will always be a classic. I would love to be able to tell the creator of DJ that her quilt is a Work of Art.
    DJ is one quilt that is on my to do list. Eiltcoq.
