ania,

That's a beautiful picture! Is ania your real name? It sure is pretty. Does it mean anything? Where is it from?

barnbum, i know what you mean about missing your mom and grandma. i lost my mom 5 yrs ago and had not started quilting at that time. i never make a quilt that i don't wish i could show mom and grandma what i'm doing. i know they would be tickled to see me take up their craft.
i often joke that i waited until the women quilters in my family, of which there were many, were gone before i got the quilting bug. so i had to pay good money for lessons :oops: none of them had the modern conveniences that we have. i.e. rotary cutters, computer aided machines, internet support. i don't think i would have the patience to make quilts the old fashioned way. no templates for me :evil:
i think they are looking down and enjoying seeing what we are up to.

Its a polish nick name to Anna.....Thanks for the complement... :D

Sure am glad we got this thread going again. Beautiful people on here. Here it is 1:40 am and I started from page 1 and have gone all the way through, but Wende from Penescola, I still haven't been able to see your picture. The one I downloaded, said it might have been moved..........?????????? How about putting one up again?

I decided to take a peek early this morning!!! I wanted to see what my friend Ania and her hubby looked like. NowI know what you like like. Glad I could see picture of you!!!!! You and your hubby make a great couple.
Hugs from Bebe

Not a very good one of me but then I usually have the camera. It is a better picture of my husband and kids. Kids are 10, 12 and 13.

Maybe I never posted a pic here. I don't know why it would disappear if it did? Here is me and my soulmate - other half, Bryan. We couldn't be happier!

No, I found my other pics here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/90/1871.page

but you have to download them to see. They were sent to me very large and I can't edit them.
