I am already addicted to quilting, does getting addicted to paper piecing make you twice as addicted?????? Edie
Hi Edie! I am actually a transplanted Minnesota girl - from Minneapolis (the "other city"!!)
I really like the paper piecing...I like puzzles and it kind of reminds me of that. I haven't done anything big - wall hanging size stuff so the projects go quickly. And yes, I'm afraid all of it is addicting :)
Nice to hear from you! I seldom get to the cities anymore and miss it.
Oh, the town across the river, eh? My husband's family is from the Amana Colonies. My husband and I renewed our wedding vows at the Little Brown Church in the Vale in Nashua Iowa (where we were married 50 years ago) and headed down to Middle Amana where my husband's aunt lived. We stopped at the Heritage Quilt Shop. Marvelous fabrics there. Very nice people. Love that shop! Then two weeks later his aunt passed away and we went to the funeral and before we left we stopped at the quilt shop again and I loaded up! I truly love Iowa. I love the Amana Colonies (you have to look past the tourist-y stuff and recall the way it used to be. My husband's father was born in Middle Amana and I got to see it for the first time in 1969 and loved it ever since. Still have relatives there.
My aim in my life is to do a Mariner's Compass! Edie
