It's just scratching an itch I didn't even know I had! And, yes, isn't it so awesome to see loved ones snuggled up under a quilt you made? Just *the* *best*. You have fun, too, Jan! :) AverageJaneCrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02629676781721905574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843198114362476108.post-48490990579017383382013-05-01T13:25:39.834-05:002013-05-01T13:25:39.834-05:00Aw, thanks! I've missed you!
The colors are ...Aw, thanks! I've missed you! <br /><br />The colors are ones I just can't seem to quit, ya know? I keep thinking I'll get tired of aquas, greys, mustards, etc. ... not yet, apparently! The class sampler quilt was more traditional than my tastes, so I thought I'd try to amp up the "modern" feel with my fabric selections. It was fun! :) AverageJaneCrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02629676781721905574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843198114362476108.post-17016934163603307172013-05-01T13:24:20.687-05:002013-05-01T13:24:20.687-05:00YAY, Pam!

I've missed you, too! :) <br /><br />And re: the "one hundred quilts," I think Diane and I will just have to retire to some remote Alaskan village and live under ALL OF THEM. ;) <br /><br />XOXO<br />AverageJaneCrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02629676781721905574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843198114362476108.post-11952347227673357182013-05-01T13:22:53.726-05:002013-05-01T13:22:53.726-05:00Thanks, Diane - for your never-ending support! :) ...Thanks, Diane - for your never-ending support! :) I really never imagined I could love quilting so much. I'm so glad I fell in to it when I did. It's been a great source of inspiration and rekindling of the ole creative spirit.
