Apparently there's quite a market for them and she's having a harder time finding them than she used to. But perhaps you know all this? We have lots of Grandma's quilts around the house, plus an awesome red and white one made by his great grandmother on the other side. I started a quilt once... oh, how do you ever have the patience?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29880024.post-81648889463245408552007-11-23T04:41:00.000-08:002007-11-23T04:41:00.000-08:00If only it could talk what stories it could tell. ...If only it could talk what stories it could tell. Actually, to me it looks similar to the emblem of the Isle of Man, rather than a You Know What. We had a discussion about this on my Quilts 4 Leukaemia blog a few months ago. An Italian lady has sent me some blocks that are Definitely You Know What's. There are some interesting comments and links for that particular post if you want to pop over and have a look.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344963200919601488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29880024.post-17119227945104583062007-11-22T16:11:00.000-08:002007-11-22T16:11:00.000-08:00I found that if I moved a picture to a new locatio...I found that if I moved a picture to a new location in the blog it was no longer clickable.

Can you imagine how disappointing it would be to finish a project, and suddenly have its main motif become an international symbol of hate and malice? Sheesh....<BR/><BR/>@kim west: Oh, well done!!! I was hoping someone would ID the pattern for me. <BR/><BR/>@rebel: Or, there's the second one pictured in <A HREF="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4866157" REL="nofollow">this NPR story</A> from a couple of years ago. Completely innocent, but pretty hard to look at!<BR/><BR/>@pam: Yes! It seems like my pictures used to be clickable, but now they aren't. And I don't know why! Can anybody help me out with this?<BR/><BR/>...and, thanks everybody for your kind comments about the Indigo Stars project!Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29880024.post-9980657435415599412007-11-21T04:50:00.000-08:002007-11-21T04:50:00.000-08:00The indigo stars are stunning.
