How great, that quilting has been enjoyed for 3 generations. When I was ready for a hobby of my own (at age 50!), all my cousins and sister kept trying different interests, none of them staying with one long enough to let me learn it. And none of them ever quilted which is what I've always wanted to do. So here I am all alone but it turned out that since I've stayed with it so happily, I'm famous as the family's quilter and they all want gifts made by me. Still... it would be nice to be able to go over to one of their houses to quilt together.

You were clever to do the Dorothy quilt in sepia tones sort of like the beginning of the movie.

You're a very lucky lady. The quilts are wonderful.

Oh my goodness! How wonderful it must be to have your grandmother and mother's work there for you to see everyday. And what amazing works they are!!!

Love your Wizard of Oz too!

There were 6 of us kids growing up on the farm. Sometimes in the winter we'd be snowed in for a week or so. We used that time to make quilt tops. Even the boys had two quilt tops apiece that they'd made. Mom finished them up when they got married. The boys and my oldest sister no longer quilt, momma and grandma are gone now but the twins and I still quilt all the time. I can't wait for my daughter to get more interested but I don't want to push it on her. She love fabric and making things so she'll come around soon. Today is her 11th birthday.

Thank all of you so much for your kind and encouraging comments. The Oz quilt was printed in the sepia tones and was meant to be the "before" quilt. This edition of Oz fabrics was called Under The Rainbow. I have some of the later fabrics that are more colorful and I'm trying to design sort of a Snail Trail pattern that would incorporate the Yellow Brick Road (the one in the movie, not the quilt pattern) I'll figure it out one of these days, make it and post it.
Once again, thank you all. It's uplifting to know that others like my quilts as much as I do. I love looking at your's too. It's inspirational.

The quilts are beautiful. Thank you for sharing the Bull Duram story. I've never heard of that before. Wouldn't it be great if stuff still came in the fabric bags?

Wow, Wow Wow... loveing them all! I haven't started my Oz quilt yet. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet since I have pieces from different lines.
