Totally. You'd have to stay an extra two weeks just to get me over it.

I dont see why not! The hard part is going to be collecting all those
onion
skins for dyeing. Maybe this project is a bit over my head. Would you be
offended if I showed up with a cheater panel quilt, tied, and a jug of
lemonade instead? lol I can still make you comatose other ways.

Ermm.. well.. okay. Can't argue with that.
Need any help on Butterfly's? LOL

Elena mmmmmm comatose.... sounds good...This quilt WILL come with you to
housekeep for a week or two, won't it? Not much cleaning, just chase
the
kids and dog, and the rocking chair out on the patio needs sitting in
for
awhile. Quilting studio readily shared. You can even have my
scrap..errr...stash if I get a quilt out of it.

No, really, I coudnt do that to you. This quilt will be packed to

seam,
it will be positively squooshy with love and the swoon would last
a
fornight
at least. Think how that would cut into your quilting time!
And therein lies the problem. Anyone I would love enough to make
such
a
quilt for I would also love to much to put them through two weeks
of
a
comatose nature. Such a moral dilema....
But, if I ever do, your name is top on the list.

Elena in Tx, who has picked cotton before and has a nice comfy
chair
into
which to swoon.

Dont tell me that you *buy* your fabric?? Dont you know that
fabric
you

make

yourself makes the quilt more special? Printing the designs in
the

fabric

yourself means more love too... and then you must grow your own
cotton..right?

Diana, going out to the back 40 to plant the cotton which she
will
weave
into cloth and dye with onions skins from onions which she grew
herself

and

then on to the cotton gin so she can make her own batt, so that
when

this

quilt is done it will be so chock full of love that the recipient
will

fall

over in a dead swoon when they get it.

DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT!!
Sorry for yelling (well, not really but anything to get your

attention).

Quilting began by women piecing together pieces of scrap
fabrics,
old
clothing and sac cloths out of necessity. That is where the joy
and

beauty

of quilting began. They'd be aghast at some of the snobbery that
lives

in

the craft world these days.

NEVER, EVER be ashamed of where you buy your fabric or how you
put

YOUR

quilts together.

There are NO quilt police. There are always judgemental people
who

will

tell

others that they aren't good enough parents (gasp, my kids drink

cola),

or

your house isn't clean enough (you mean you DON'T clean your
walls

every

week?) or your kids aren't doing well enough in school (what do
you

mean

you

don't force them to do math four hours a day??), or your car
isn't
new
enough.......you get my drift. Just as there are people like
that,

there

are

those who sniff at anything less than what they would do. You
know

what

to

do about those people? IGNORE THEM.

You sound like me. We quilt because we love it. It's soothing,
it's

relaxing

(well, it's relaxing when it's going well and you're not pulling
out

your

hair and chewing up your lips because a pattern isn't going well
or

the

stupid post office lost a quilt....), we love the beauty and the
work

that

goes into making such lovely products.

I really wish you would share your finds, your methods and all
stuff

like

that. Even us experienced quilters can learn from beginners
and -
we

may

even be reminded of what it was like when we first began.

Did I get through to you? grin YOUR quilts, YOUR choices are
just

as

good

as anyone else's here.

Off soapbox now before I fall off,
Marijke
