Sorry for the hijack!! Just wanted to say I love your lattice work in your picture. Did you hand applique or machine piece? Just being nosey! :oops: :D
Hi sewcrafty, no problem!! The lattice blocks are machine pieced. They are actually autograph blocks. The quilt was made for my grandfather's 90'th birthday. Friends and relatives signed it at the big party we threw him, and then he collected more autographs over the years. There is actually a topic about it.

Thanks for asking. Come to think about it, there are a lot of "smell memories" that quilt can evoke! :D

The only thing I have been smelling lately is cigarette smoke. My Aunt who passed away a 1 1/2 ago is paying me a visit. She must be having a good time with my Native American Lady ghost and the ghost cat we have.

You smell cigarette smoke when there is nobody around you smoking??? I thought I was the only one!!! I wonder if your Aunt is visiting me too? If so, I must tell her she's a little off course and send her on her way. :shock:

your not being nosey, that's what this thread is about...do you stick your nose in stuff?
my answer: um, no! I actually believe I am allergic to new fabric...stuff they put on it. Makes me dizzy, lightheaded and sometimes my nose runs...in the fabric store, where there's a lot and I get to fondling everything...huh...except for the drippy nose, sounds kind of like a rondevous :lol:

I smell 'fire', when there isn't any. I get up sometimes from a dead sleep and walk through the house to make sure! Am I ok? you guys do that, right?
