Thank you all for your wonder comments. No, I don't quilt 24/7 but I have been able to get about 10-15 done a year. The Twice as nice took me about a month to put together, working on it evenings after work. I don't watch TV at all and my kids are not young any more (youngest is now 19 1/2 and in Navy) Currently I have 8 quilts that are sandwiched and waiting to be quilted laying on my son's bed. I recently had shoulder surgery and havn't been able to do any sewing for almost 11 weeks. I did get to spend a little time Sunday at the machine, but I only last about 10 min before I start hurting. The quilts upstairs will have to wait a while longer until I am able to finish them.

Thanks, I think it is one of my favorites. My daughter picked out the colors, I, of course, made the final choices on the fabrics. I plan on making that one again with maybe some more purple's. I think I have about 26 different fabrics in that one.

They are all beautiful, oh if I had to choose my favourite um it would have to be, all of them :lol:
Hope to be as talented as you one day :D

I would also like to thank you for your continued support to all the Soldiers, Sailors & Airmen & their families who put their lives on the line everyday for us all here at home. DH served for 30yrs in The Royal Air Force so for me what you are doing is very close to my heart.

All I can say is WOW! My faves are the Twice As Nice and the "Rocket Scientist" Bits And Pieces. I have a BIL who is a Rocket Scientist (retired from NASA). But they are ALL spectacular. I love your sense of color.

Such marvelous work! And to have suffered that loss too. What great therapy!
Isn't that Bits 'n Pieces pattern from Bloom Creek? I used their Strips 'n Bits with a jelly roll and charms. It is a wonderful pattern.

Keep posting your pics,they are great! Hope to talk with you in the chat room.
