Hi, I'm Dee. I currently live in mid-central Arkansas and am an addictive obsessive quilter -- live and breathe fabric and quilts. Altho' I have a terrible habit of giving them all away and keep none for myself, but I do have an album of quilt pictures ;D
I started when my daughter was in kindergarten, and with moving from and through 4 different states, it has been the one constant in my life.
I am looking for a pattern for a navy anchor -- any help would be appreciated !

Welcome to the family from South Carolina!

Thank you. I'm perplexed tonight as I've been asked to make a navy related quilt for a friend's son stationed in Hawaii -- nice idea but I cannot draw an anchor LOL Found a tutorial and I suck big time !
Wonder if I can have one embroidered .. hmmmmm...

Where in London are you ?
I'm just up the road .. and you are surrounded by addicts around here LOL

Thanx all ... I'm still working on the 'navy' thing ...
I have learned: I cannot draw an anchor ...
I can draw a star and came up with a navy star using a Road to Paradise block in a 5x5 setup with cornerstones, whereupon an anchor can be embroidered and other info on the other cornerstones. That may be as good as it gets ..
I do have a new machine to ME that does embroidery, I just haven't learned to use it yet .. been having to much fun piecing.
Working on a lonestar for a GF in NY as a wedding gift -- she has a king size bed (extra large) and a broken star made from log cabin blocks for my sister's 25th wedding anniversary. The lone star needs one last border and then I can press and hand off to quilter .. the log cabin is 1/2 built on the wall and the other half is waiting for me to patiently sit and sew :mrgreen:
But being 80+ today I've had other things on my mind ..
and now there's supper, pork ribs in bbq, baked beans and a potato for the man ..
Thanx again for the welcome ..
