Hi Judy. I'm not sure what you're seeing from your computer, but I posted the picture again, just above. I didn't post a link. You should be able to see it in the post. I'm sorry, I'm not good with computers, so I don't know what the problem might be. :(

Oh good Judy. I'm glad you were able to see it. :)

I've been doing message boards for awhile now, and I still don't know how to work this darn thing! LOL Thank goodness for a kind husband who doesn't mind helping me over, and over, and over....again. :lol:

I got to meet Margaret Miller (she was our guest speaker) and she's a really sweet and funny lady. I bought a package of her AnglePlay templates with patterns, and I can't wait to get started on one. They're really neat!! She's also one of the judges for the quilt show at the museum. Even if the quilt doesn't win a prize, it was juried in so it gets to hang there for the next six months. I'm so pleased. :)

Lin, I am about 2 hours from Little Rock.. I would love to know when things come to this area.. I am in the S.W. area and out in the boonies :lol: So I do not have an avenue for info.. I would have loved to have been there..

I do love the quilt.. It is beautiful...

You're welcome Loretta. No problem. Thank you for the nice compliment. :)

Aw, I wish you could have known Diamonds!! You would have had so much fun. I live a little over 3 hours from there. We went down the day before so we could hit some quilt stores along the way (go figure!! :lol: ) but we came home that same night. The next AR Congress is scheduled for next Oct. 4th in Mountain Home, AR. Mary Ellen Hopkins is will be the guest speaker!!! I wouldn't want to miss her. I hear she's a real hoot! :lol: It will be presented by Hill 'n Holler Quilters Guild in Mt. Home and a couple of others. I'll pm you the rest of the info, ok? I'd love to meet you there next year. It would be a bit of a drive for you, about 4 hours maybe?...but well worth it if you can find a friend or two to share the gas and hotel expenses.
