Hello to you,Linda -- my name is Jean - I live in Phx, AZ now but I was born in Nova Scotia. I have a sister living there still and most of her family. Three years ago I visited her after 23 years, we had a wonderful 3 weeks. She gave me a hand-pieced eight-pointed star scrappy quilt top that our Grammie pieced many years ago. I just love it - am still working on it - still need to finish quilting the borders and put a binding on it. I would love to hear from you sometime.
