I have not heard that anyone else is still waiting. Is there something I don't know ????

Well The last mini has crossed the finish line. Jan R. has sent me a wonderful mini that is over a yard long!:D Believe me Jan, I will put this mini to good use. The colors are perfect in my living room. It has found a good home.

Jan is so busy so I am hopefully saving her some time by posting a picture of the the quilt she received.

"Can't see the forest for the Trees"

I also used Robert Frost as my inspiration. I love this poem.

Stopping by the Woods on a snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farm house near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.


Peace to all.

very nice ube....I love Frost as well. I really understood this poem years ago when MrOk and I were looking at a farmstead to buy. The land around it was divided in little 10 A narrow parcels of wooded land...wood lots for the townspeople to cut for heat, I thought. We didn't buy the farmstead, "and that has made all the difference"

this is the FQ of the Maori design fabric I sent to lovethemgreys. There is a church in Rotarua NZ with these woven leaves and grasses for walls. This is traditional wall designs for important buildings.

The tree mini was my interpretation of a Norfolk Pine that grows in NZ.
