Fanciful Quilts

I belong to a yahoo quilt group:  Quilters Who Care.   Every so often a member of the group loses a mother...or a father...or a brother....or is just having a difficult time. When facing a difficult time, quilters have the same thought....make a quilt of comfort. Email goes out....send heart blocks!   Nothing beats a comforting quilt.  This one will go to a member who lost her mom a short time ago.   When my dad died a few years ago, I received a heart quilt....so many hearts, so much comfort.  Of this I am sure:  when in doubt when grief strikes someone you know - consider a quilt. Sew on! Angel45402

I won't even look back to check when was the last time I blogged.  Gasping is probably not good for the soul. Quilting and quilting and quilting....and more quilting.  Not true.  Some quilting.....but not nearly enough to be content.  What does it mean to be contented quilter?  For some, happily sewing away 24/7.  For others, maybe an hour a week.  I'm somewhere in the middle. Blocks are slowly becoming quilt tops....Quilt tops are slowly becoming completed quilts.   I'm slowly getting there. This is the Pocketful of Mysteries (Mystery?  I'm always confusing the name of the yahoo group) quilt.  Each block posted by the owner of the group - each representing a letter of the alphabet.  Four corners are the Friendship Star.  Bless EQ7 for making it easier to come up with a layout.   Oh yes, EQ7.  That has consumed a lot of time ... sometimes, frustrating.  Other times, not so frustrating.  It's a learning process....and I enjoy the heck out of figuring out
