Thanks Diana, I'm feeling much better but the cough lingers mostly in the am. Sounds like a plan to get together when you visit your son next year, I'd love that. If we're lucky maybe even Kris and Pat could come down from Maine that day. Hope we can make it work.

Margaret, Thanks for the welcome. I am so excited to be part of this group. As a new quilter, I look at quilting books and magazines and realize I have so much to learn. As I was telling Marie, I am going to a quilters meeting where the lady will be discussing making string quilts. You can imagine what is going through my mind, since I have no idea what a string quilt could be. However, I guess half the fun of quilting is learning new things. Have a great and blessed day, Diana

Marie, Sorry to hear you have been sick and hope you are feeling better. It seems like it takes so long to get over a cough. We try to go to Boston either over the fourth of July or in the fall so maybe next time we can get together. I was invited to join a quilting club that has opened up in our area. At their next meeting they will have a lady demonstrate how to make a string quilt. Since I am fairly new at this, I have no idea what kind of quilt this could be. Any information on this type of quilt would be helpful. I feel I could benefit more from the talk if I knew something about it. Hope you have a great day. Diana

Diana, Thanks for the great welcome. When I was a little girl I use to say that when I married, the boy would be from Tennessee, just so I could live there. It never worked out that way, but yes I still love Tennessee. We try to visit the Smokey Mountain region once or twice a year. Most people come for the entertainment, however my husband and I love to camp and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We are still hoping to get to go there this fall and if we do I would love to meet you. How long have you been quilting? Diana

Barbara, We are back from Boston and had a great time visiting with our son. The hardest part is leaving, but anyone who has children who live very far away know how I feel. We have a ladies group at our church who tries to get together and do different things. I thought for November I would attempt to teach them how to make no sew quilted Christmas ornaments. I have watched several videos and I purchased what I needed to get started, but I would welcome any advice that would help me. Most of the ladies do not quilt, however I thought it would be a fun way to introduce them to the world of quilting. Have a great and blessed day. Diane

Diana--

Welcome! My goodness you are one multi-talented lady. Enjoy your time here. BTW, I have a daughter in Boston, so we have one other thing in common.

So glad you joined us. It is so cool that you also weave. You sound like a very busy busy woman. I hope you have a great time with your son. Come back often. The quilters here are very kind and helpful. Have a great trip.

Marge (AKA Dimples):

do be cautious Marie ----- that's how Dave's bout with bronchitis started

Thanks for the concern, Marge, doing everything I can to avoid that. I have doors and windows open to get some fresh air in my lungs and that seems to help. Nice fresh crisp fall air, love it.

dickdiana68:
We are leaving tomorrow for Boston to visit with one of our sons.

Diana, enjoy your visit with your son. I'll wave to you from Millbury, just west of Boston. Glad we didn't plan to meet, I have a horrible cough that sounds contagious. I'm feeling better but have coughing fits regularly. Drinking lots of herbal teas.
