Well done, John! It looks beautiful and perfect. My DH John (known as the Count) just completed his Carpenters Square quilt (no ability to show photos) and had some degree of fame. Fons and Porter accepted and had on their show his Tip of the Day Show #911 last Sat. He was a wood patternmaker, and loves the accuracy part of quilting, pus the accolades from our Quilt Guild. He's the only male member. LOL Nancycog in MD

Beautiful, John!! Love the colors!!

That is gorgeous, John.

Book? I'm a bibliophile. (I think that means I love books, not that I mistreat them.) And now quilt books!

Your quilt is magnificent! Your wife's color choices are magnificent! I'm looking forward to seeing your next project.

My wife has just published a reference book on revolutionary war patriots. She was director of copy editing services for a large legal publishing company for many years before retirement. I laughingly refer to her as "Conan the Grammarian". She copy edits signs alongside the freeway and is a charter member of the apostrophe police. I sometimes wonder how we ever got together, based on my casual approach to spelling.

Beautiful quilt!

John, that is definitely a WOW quilt--a real eye-opener! Love it! I may have to try that idea in my next quilt for my son, I have not yet done a Log Cabin and that one really excites me.

Please tell your sweetheart about the sign at the grocery today. It offered "potato's at $2 for five pounds or $5 for ten pounds". That happens all the time, I simply try not to look. Polly

Ah, but would they allow you to buy two sets of five pounds for $4?

I wonder why the words potato/potatoes/tomato/tomatoes seem to cause such confusion - If apples were for sale they'd be sure to get it right!

Local restaurant had Leek and Potatoe Soup on their very large board outside. Wondered if the toes wriggled!

I even wonder about that these days! . In message , Sally Swindells writes

Don't know if I'm more annoyed with the apostrophe or with the math! Roberta in D

Beautiful! You do lovely, precise work. :)

I'd be making trouble with the manager about the maths not about the spelling - I would not appreciate paying $1 more for having twice the amount - in fact if anything it should be cheaper (normally larger packs are cheaper per pound than smaller ones)

I love her! I received a copy of "Shoots, Eats, and Leaves" for Christmas and have been wholeheartedly enjoying reading it!

I gave that book to her for her birthday. So much for sentimentality. She loved it by the way.

I have it, too! It was a revelation to the 12 year-old I was tutoring for two years - to realise that punctuation was not a torture invented by teachers, but a functional and vital part of the English language >g< . In message , John writes
