Questions & Answers

I have not accomplished much today in the line of quilting.  I have been a little lazy in between reading and working outside with my husband on our land.  We have trees that need to be cleared out that fell in our woods from last year’s bad windstorm.  They are not in the way and aren’t near the house so we can take our time clearing them out.  The trees fell in the woods.  We will cut some for firewood and clear out the rest.

I made the quilt pictured here for my grandson 8 1/2 years ago – wow time sure flies Since this baby quilt he has received 3 other quilts from me and he is always pleased to get another. This quilt is still in considerably good shape although faded a little from repeated washings.

When writing  a blog I have found that you have to constantly try to think of something to write.  I know other people check in with me so this blog is not a personal diary/journal blog of things I do not want to share.  What to keep people’s interest?  I found some questions about quilting – with answers.  I will be posting a question each day for awhile.  The answer will appear the next day if you want to know if you are right check back with me I have about 25 or so of these questions.
