Quilt in a Day-11 years actually

What is up with Eleanor Burns and her "Quilt In A Day"-her and how many assistants? This is an Applique project that I started in 1996 and finished this year in time for it hang above the fireplace for the holidays. I will say that there were 4 moves, a child, a divorce, a college degree, a new marriage and a new career all in those 10-11 years that contributed to the slowness of completion. So I guess Eleanor is not to blame.

The leaves are hand sewn and the quilting is a cross hatch design in the middle of the heart and chevron on the outside all done by machine. I love it and refuse to take it down. I figure that 11 years in and out of a box gives it a pass to hang beyond the season!

New to Blogger

Hello hello!!! I am new to Blogger but have been on 360 for years intermittently-the hubby recommended I switch-get with the times he said.
So here I am!
Life in Central PA has been good-finally quiet after the very busy January. Scott's knee healed nicely and he is doing great. Therapy is done and he got to 2 degrees on the extension which might actually be straighter than he had prior to the surgery.
Dad is doing well, not back to work yet, but doing well. Physically you cannot tell he even had a stroke but if you chat with him and he is tired or excited you can certainly pick up on it.
The GREAT news is that everyone is on US soil!! Todd came home from Iraq after a 15 month tour-Safely. I am so proud of his kids who have to deal with Daddy being home 12 months then gone for 12 months. Zach has no idea how lucky he is.
