    I am a collector of hand stitched quilts! My best friend quilts and so does my mother-in-law when she has the time. Our church has a group of women who meet there every Wednesday to quilt. Sometimes, I go to watch and listen! It is so much fun! Please enter me in your fabulous giveaway drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

    I’ve begun to craft my own version of “friendship quilts” for a busy different world, a paper friendship quilt of photograghs (people, places, moments in time)….much treasured! It’s a lovely gift in a frame.

    Hope to read The Friendship Quilt for more ideas to improve my joyful hobby !

    My mom taught me to quilt when I was growing up. I have kept this skill, and make at least one quilt a year. This year I have made 5 or so for friends that have new additions to their families. Whenever I visit my parents, my mom and I sit down and work on our quilts together. It is so fun. Thanks for the great giveaway.
