Was born in Claremore. Yeah folks, for those who liked the musical it was the “big” city with the train station outside of Skidmore (I never knew if that town ever really existed). Only spent a few years there total between the moving around as a kid but the folks settled there, thus I call it home. Yes indeed, home is where the heart is.

Anyway thanks, the quilting is coming on fine. I think I'm developing a new callus on my thimble finger, which is just dandy, since I was doing this piece to develop my quilting stitch. I can see now why the Amish quilts are so prized, since it's a heck of a lot of stitching.

I know for some of you this exercise in quilting might be like beating a dead horse since machines are so popular, for me though I’ve a lifetime of non sewing to catch up on so it works. Silly yes, but that ‘is’ my middle name.
