Hi Everyone, Its been many a day I had anything to report quiltwise and that explains my absence from the group for a few years, plus trying to get a business going took up all my free time as well. Now tho, I am back, and glad to see so many familiar faces as well as so many new ones. I still wont have time to post much but wanted to share that I am now working on two quilty projects and a new hobby, rugs! The first quilt is a Storm at Sea, in blues and white, not sure what size it will be but it will have a heart in purple. The second is a WIP that stalled out some time ago, a lovely fresh colored quilt for my daughter. Im adding vines to it currently and will post pictures when its farther along. I've missed piecing a lot, but even more the process of picking fabrics. Thats my fave! Ive always wanted to make a rug but wanted someone to teach me and met someone online who was willing to set up their web cam and let me watch the process. I'm making a type called tufted rugs, similar in style to a hooked rug but made with yarn. Again, its the process of picking the colors and figuring out the design thats the part that thrills me, tho working the tool is great, its like painting with yarn. No pictures available yet but I hope to have some later today. Id like to take a moment to point you towards a quilty product a friend of mine makes. She is an Etsy seller as well and makes the most beautiful quilt block pendants. Her user name is BlossomArts and she is a peach, even if she isn't a quilter. :) You've all kept me company during the dry spell.. I have appreciated it more than words can say. Hugs! Diana

So good to hear from you again, and to know you're alive and well! Can't wait for quilt photos, they both sound lovely. The rug project is interesting too! Roberta in D

Diana...Diana Curtis...hmmmmm... *nudging my quilting neighbor-- Didn't we used to know a Diana Curtis? Seems like there was a Diana Curtis who had the cutest little girl... and didn't she have a Giant Dahlia quilt she was planning? And the sweetest little trinket boxes...very crafty, that Diana. Same one? Could be. Diana ... Curtis... yeah, sure sounds familiar. . . .
