wow Valerie that is a stunning pineapple quilt...great job.. will consider that design.. I don't have time to hand quilt it although I would LOVE too! Thanks for the suggestion. Do u live full time in Panama? We have been thinking about renting a place in Boquete or David. We have been thinking about this for a year or so... Have been thru the canal a few times. If you have the time could you tell us a little about living in Panama ? thanks! BTW LOVE LOVE LOVE that MOLA as your avatar! Want to learn how to do that!! Did you make that one??? thanks Kennie!!
