    I always tease my sister and tell her that she is my sister and there is nothing she can do about it. But I couldn't survive with her, Aren't they the absolute best?

    She is such a sweetheart and peace maker. She finds a way to make you talk about the things you like, what you did with your day, etc. She would call me.
    Joan: Whatcha doin.
    Dorothy: Readying the Quiltingboard.
    Joan: What is the Quiltingboard.
    Dorothy: A large group of quilters showing pictures of their quilts, talking about quilts and things they have made, teaching us stuff. I learn so much.
    Joan: But sister, you already know how to sew.
    Dorothy: No, I am learning now. I was just 'doing it' before and I didn't know what I was doing.
    Joan: Oh.
    Dorothy: Want to see some of my post? This is the link.
    Joan: Okay.
    Joan became a member in September! :thumbup:
    She thought she did not know how to quilt. She knows more than she remembers that she knew.
    I adopted her on the Quiltingboard. She has read posts, searched, watched videos and tutorials. She bought a sewing machine, got the suggested tools and look what she made me to show me how much she has learned in such a short time.
    This lap quilt is so precious to me. I was emotional when it arrived. My grandson was on the phone with Joan as I opened it. He said "Aunt Joan, Grandma really likes her present. She is crying. She likes it very much".
    Thank you sweet sister. I keep it by my machine so I can enjoy it while I sew. It is perfect to put my sewing odds and ends on. Keep up the good work and enjoy the moment.
    I love the heart/plaid stuff. I've used it for a pair of pillows for my ex-mil. Bought some more of it last fall for some future project.

    Dorothy, I just now really LOOKED at your avatar. I have never seen more than two hummers on one feeder without someone starting a fuss.
    Congrats on having friendly hummingbirds.
