Quilters are people who strip so they won't go topless.

Great reporting work Kris! PLEASE - keep it up.
Loved all of the row quilts. Nancy's pheasant was beautiful - almost as good as the real thing. :o) All of the row contributors outdid themselves.
Maggie - nice to have a face to go with your name. You know that Marlene and I always talk about you. Do your ears burn???
Barb - who is going to be your "Lois Lane / Jimmy Olsen"??
Barbara: Marge I had the same question ,I thinki its a cute quilt .
The row quilts are absolutely gorgeous. There will be some beautiful quilts from those. The snowman fight embroidery is beautiful. Great to see the lovely faces to go with names.
To all--Have a blast.
Oh thanks Agnes. I meant to say something about Kris's snowmen and forgot.
KRIS - Love your redwork snowmen. Do they need a home????
Hi everyone, I wish I were there. I just loved seeing all fall charm swaps fabric in your blocks. Makes me feel that a part of me is there with you when I spotted my fabric.
Have a fabulous time, can't wait to see more pictures.

I wouldn't count on it Barbara. Those gremlins are like the Sorcerers Apprentice and multiply. They have the ability to be in Leavenworth one night and pop on over to other retreats in an instant!

Marge (AKA Dimples): Kris: Nancy was the first to complete a top: And this is a top for ______ ?????????
Sorry to be slow responding. That's one of the fidget quilts I've talked about elsewhere. The fabrics are home decor with different textures, and then "touchy" stuff is added to the top. It will be backed with flannel so it won't slip off the recipient's lap. Our local long-term care centers love these for the shut-ins who need to keep their hands busy fidgeting with stuff. Can you see the little mouse my cat Pickles donated to the cause?

And what are we drinking?
Quilter's Irish Death??? How in the world did they come up with a name like that? We just HAD to try it!
