I'm a retired art teacher and would love to do more free, improv designs but I find myself trying to please my family and friends with more traditional quilts. I's inspired by you to experiment more. My most recent quilt was made for the American Museum of Ceramic Art, http://www.ceramicmuseum.org./ and I think you would find it interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-61967726212269380002009-01-05T11:43:00.000-06:002009-01-05T11:43:00.000-06:00That is an awesome pile of gifts!

I thought the judgement was so unfair. How wonderful to see you and your family come out the other side of this problem. That is what life is about - learning from mistakes. And we ALL make them - some kind or another. Some people are better than others at money and then others are better at other life problems. No judgement. Good for your son.
