I started a Bear's Paw some time about 2 years ago...it's still sitting in my cut to finish box. I did actually FINISH 5 small projects this week. They were done except putting the backing on them. They are lap quilts for the Disable Vets project the AM Legion Ladies Aux has going. Our goal is 60 lap quilts or knit/crochet throws...36" x 36"

Quilts?! A thread about QUILTING?!!!!

My thoughts - exactly! LOL!

My Granny Flynn and my Mom quilted quite a bit in their time, all hand made. And it's amazing the materials they crafted them from.

Afternoon, BillieBlue. : )

Very pretty graphics. : )

I think those Veterans will enjoy those quilts, maybe men don't understand quilting but men love to sleep under quilts.

Hi Freezie! Your quilt history is very interesting!

You should have another 'contest' and have one as a *prize*. : )

[The Thin Man]

Quilters are some of the most down to earth and pleasant people around

I have no doubt about that. FreeTheHostages is just an aberration. :-)

[Diver Dave]

Thanks Pip. :)

Hope your 'puter woes are soon behind you.
I've had my share of 'puter woes. I just go down and buy new parts and upgrade. I've got a drawer full of old motherboards, modems, hard drives, etc. Actually, they're pretty simple to upgrade and cheaper than a new one IMO. Now monitors are a different story. When they go snap crackle pop!, it's time to get a new one.

Howdy Louie. Thanks for your vote. :)

[The Thin Man]

I love inserting those little 'deliberate' typos to make him smile. :)

Be more original! Don't you know that's dutchess' excuse? LOL!

[FreeTheHostages]

maybe men don't understand quilting but men love to sleep under quilts

They understand all right! They just don't want to admit it in front of other men! At least on a subconscious level, they understand about quilts.

[FreeTheHostages]

to quilt is human, to finish divine

[The Thin Man]

Congratulations on a well deserved win. It must give you great satisfaction knowing that your hard work paid off. :)

[Aquamarine]

Have you thought about taking up quilting? ;)

[ST.LOUIE1]

I think quilts are neat!

I think *you* are neat! (((((((((Pippin)))))))))

: )

[FreeTheHostages]

Have you thought about taking up quilting? ;)

Yes, have you, the Thin Man? You seem a little jealous of Diver Dave's win. Diver Dave had that over-regulated gingerbreadhouse, and then another hilarious entry in my tagline contest. You should wish him only well, The Thin Man! Tsk, tsk, jealously is sooo unbecoming. I think quilting would soften your rough edges!

In fact, I can think of a good quilting pattern to start you on: drunkard's path.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Awwww, look - your mom quilts, too. :)

LOL!

Er.....maybe you should be sleeping under that one. LOL!!!

I know, shame on wolfie. : (

A beautiful rose from a beautiful lady, thank you. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Hi, JW!

The ladies are putting on their Finest for us, eh? : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

The word quilt comes from the Latin culcita meaning a stuffed sack. :-)

It is when I'm under one. : )

[Diver Dave]

Congratulations on a well deserved win.
It must give you great satisfaction knowing that your hard work paid off. :)

Thanks.
Yep. The secret was to know when to quilt quit. :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

LOL, I'm armed and dangerous when I quilt too. the sharpness of those fabric cutter wheels still unnerves me.
I'm sure it would unnerve wolfie, too

Hey....you insinuating wolfie would even consider quilting? That's a 'woman' thingy. : (

And sharp cutter wheels wouldn't bother me.....only a silver bullet....and you ain't got one. LOL

Seriously, this is a very nice thread and the graphics are pure eye candy. : )

And I just know you're going to be telling me how many men DO quilt. LOL

Democrats Bolt Again....to New Mexico

Hi, Meekie - I'll use the same phrase I used Thursday on John's thread....."Dem Dam Dims"! They can't stand it if they don't have an advantage, can they?!
