Howdy!
Of course, more than one. I sent her the first, Little Browns,
which she has used under her laptop computer for a few years.
As Queen of Beggars, I'm very proud of LN, one of the best
students. Such spirit, determination, and persistence she has!
Of course, she skipped the class on Finesse, but that doesn't
seem to have hurt her case; she doubled up on the one in
Stomping Your Way to the Freebies.

LN, I'm curious... has your begging ever resulted in anyone
sending you a quilt?

Thanks for leaving Jalynne's post on for me. It seems to have gone missing.
Your quilts are spot on, and very verbose! They could give my quilts a few
lessons on how to be joyful, colorful and deep.
:-)
Now to Jalynnes quilts. Yes, thats just what I was going for. Your quilts
are pretty verbose as well! Are you sure they arent just saying.... send me
to Di?
I think that Jalynne and cas need to work together to design a quilt that
shows the best of each of you. It would be interesting to say the least.

ok (leaving J's post in seeing as Di didn't get it) - now I have to think
bout this
The real me quilts usually have black backgrounds although some have other
colours (usually solids though) and bright colours that stand out more cos
of the black. Sometimes the backgrounds seem to overwhelm the quilts (to
some people anyways) and I s'pose that's the part that shows what people
usually see of me - conservative and boring - but then the colour jumps

out
and whacks you when you're not expecting it - just like me stirring up
trouble when people least expect it. I s'pose the shapes (usually diamonds
and hexagons and occasionally interlocking circle shapes) show my more
logical and analytical side - takes a few close inspections to see the
smaller shapes making up the larger obvious shapes.
ohhh .. and the black backgrounds don't show the quilt inspector's trail
(black poodle hair) so that's the practical side of me.
And my kaleidoscope keeps screaming at me to finish it cos it's decided on
it's own name (will be my first quilt with a name) and wants to be
introduced into society as soon as possible. (show off that it is)

At first glance, one would think that the quilts i make for myself

(which
no one has
actually seen yet, since they're either in the works or design phase)

are
plain and
boring, but when you look closer, you can see that there is much more

than
meets the
eye at first glance. I'm a lot like that. Full of character and fun.

I'm simple,
yet complex. I am conservative and traditional, but like the occasional

splash of
the unexpected. The quilts i make for others say something about me,

too.
It says
that I love them so much, that I will set aside my personal preferences

to
make
something that I know they will cherish. Is that was you were getting

at,
Di?

newly
decorated bedroom... but the ones we make for ourselves, to satisfy

our
inner creative urges.

Listen to it them more closely ... I think I hear one saying that you can
make more complicated ones but not yet, not unless you dont mind finding
your perfectly cut pieces being used to wash a teddy bear. :-)

with....that lady HATES making quilts for people to be told "its so pretty, i
wont use it".....we want to know that in a few years someone's dog will have

Yepperz ...... I'm BACKKKKkkkkkkk, and can't wait to sort thru all this
chatter. grins Don't pull me up a seat yet. I want to wander around a bit,
just to see what everyone's been up to. I'll just set these brownies down
right here, and ya'll can help yourself to them, but don't get that gooey
caramel all over B'flys new machine. I'm anxious to see how that thing's
working out for her.

As for me, I think my quilts say that they wonder if she's ever going to
make up her mind since I seem to go all over the place. I'm still new
at this though and thanks in a large part to the knowledge and
encouragement shared by this group I may well indeed keep hopping
all around - just need to wait awhile before I tackle Y-seams (but
those Attic Windows quilts are like a siren's call) and other scary
things!

Great question Diana - thanks

Awww... finishing is a good thing, but somewhat overrated. Top makers are
important too!

Wow - I was entranced watching the slideshow of your quilts and wanted
to make sure others didn't miss taking a look. Hard to pick a favorite
'cause they're all so wonderful.

She used to have pictures on her photo page of all the quilts she had been
sent, but I see they aren't there anymore. Maybe she's afraid people will
think she doesn't need any more.

I know of at least three she successfully begged... (one of which was from
me.)

Jan! You snuck right up behind me! Caught me checking out your site too.
*grins* You've been a busy gal, huh??? And ... Have you found another place
yet, or sold this one, or still hunting?

I fell in love with "Going in Circles". That was such a comical name ...
kinda' like how lots of us feel at times. Gorgeous design! :^)

Gotta' check out the WIP's yet, but had to grab a coffee and throw a chunk
of wood on the fire. It's too cold for anything but lots of visiting today.

And I have no clue what my quilts say about me..... my husband and friends
just joke that I belong in another time, but they humor me. Probably
because they know it keeps me sane! :-) Any suggestions about what they
are saying?? Not about my sanity... we all know that is in question this
week! :-)
