    Link away :)
    I add to my lists when I see new things that catch my eye or when someone is looking for a project. I try to add a new topic every week too... although the next few weeks I'll be really super busy so I doubt I'll add a new topic til after the new year. :)
    Oooh - extra brownie points if you link to my main (crochet pattern) site lol. The more inward links the better according to google.

    I made a bookcase quilt for my parent's 50th anniversary in 1999. I hadn't been quilting for very long back then and I used the Wendy Etzel book for the design. The instructions were easy to follow and the suggestions were great. I highly recommend it.

    My quilt has my parents wedding picture and then current picture, their parents above them (one set has their 50th picture) and their kids and grandkids below them. Some of the books have titles on them - an author my mother liked, a play they went to in London and something meaningful for my dad.
