I am already addicted to quilting, does getting addicted to paper piecing make you twice as addicted?????? Edie
I really like the paper piecing...I like puzzles and it kind of reminds me of that. I haven't done anything big - wall hanging size stuff so the projects go quickly. And yes, I'm afraid all of it is addicting :)
Nice to hear from you! I seldom get to the cities anymore and miss it.

I'm also from Iowa, but have never heard the phrase "Iowegian" I consider myself an Iowan. We also have had more than our share of rain this summer. Seems as though there's no end to it. Had over 12 inches of rain in June and in July we have had over 6 inches already. Enough!!!!!

We stopped at the Heritage Quilt Shop. Marvelous fabrics there. Very nice people. Love that shop! Then two weeks later his aunt passed away and we went to the funeral and before we left we stopped at the quilt shop again and I loaded up! I truly love Iowa. I love the Amana Colonies (you have to look past the tourist-y stuff and recall the way it used to be. My husband's father was born in Middle Amana and I got to see it for the first time in 1969 and loved it ever since. Still have relatives there.

I live just a half hour or so from the Amanas - I usually get to Heritage twice a year...I agree, wonderful shop - her batiks are just awesome :roll: I'll be heading down there again for a shop hop coming up in a few weeks....cha-ching!

You're coming to my area. I live in Guthrie County west of Springbook State Park. Hope you have a good weekend. If you're interested, they are having a western music jamboree at the fairgrounds in Guthrie Center on Saturday starting at 6:00 PM
