How fun to hear Bonnie Hunter speak! I'm quite jealous, especially after making the En Provence.

My ...Oh, Mary< you make me want to quilt again. My second husband died almost 4 years ago and I haven't touched quilting since. He loved to see me quilt. I went through a horrible depression and lost 50 pounds and found it plus just a little more. Grrr - I need to lose the 50 pounds again and not the way I do it. I'm very prone to depression. I have fibromyalgia and many invisible illnesses. My medications are strong and a juggling act. God took my quiet 4 bedroom house that was full with quilting/knitting and other craft notions and filled it with children from now 4 to 40. My granddaughter will be 4 on July 5; her brother is 11 and her Dada is 40. I'm starting to reorganize my sewing room with my bedroom so Jessica can have my bedroom. Then everyone will have personal space. It's taken my three weeks while struggling with probable walking pneumonia to clean the downstairs bedroom except the floor. Everything else is clean and organized. I love the patriotic block. I love red/white/ and blue. I have a friend who used to sing for USO tours. She'd love that. I want to make her some things to honor her for her service. I'm interested in the temperature quilt. It's the first I've heard of them. It's hot in the Tulsa, OK area. We've had a record low for one day also. Do you have a link to the temperature quilt? See you are inspiring me. Good job on all your work.

Although, 87 is hot enough for me :) The block for Carol looks so amazing, beautiful prints. I am so glad that you shared more photos of the Row By Row quilt. It is gorgeous. Yellow and grey combination is one my favourites. The little ones look adorable. I hope my garden one day grows up like yours, Mary. Your flower photos are always so pretty.

She went to all the flower shops in her area around graduation time hoping someone would have them so she could have a few gratuitous sniffs. Unfortunately, none of the shops had them. I really love the colors and design of your row by row. The quilt is quite phenomenal and would look great in my house. My next quilt will most likely be in that same color palette. --AndreaGoofin' Off Around the Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132019340570146841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-18304858275319248932017-06-20T18:37:52.075-07:002017-06-20T18:37:52.075-07:00I love all of the Hibiscus blooms.
