your new quilting friend,

Thank you, I used machine embroidery to put special saying on the plain material at the top and bottom of the rows. When my daughter seen them she teared up.

Welcome, glad to see that you can quilt even tho you have RA. I have a friend that is handicapped and makes quilts also. Another friend and I use to cut her fabric for her and then she would use one of our machines to sew. Her husband bought her a new machine for Christmas one year and old her that he would cut all her fabric for her. She uses her teeth to help her with sewing on the binding.

It' amazing what a person can do when they are determined and have help and support from family and friends. It sounds like your friends quilts are put together with much love from everyone involved. Thank you for the welcome.

Thank you, we are almost neighbors. I bet you even shop at the Denver Fabrics, one of my favorite places.

Great quilt! What about lines to look like the edges of an actual envelope on the back?
