I know what you mean about sewing with anyone! While I'm sure I could pick tons of people, I would just love to have some company sometimes! The dog just doesn't cut it all the time! Thank you for the wonderful compliments! Quilting is such a creative outlet for me. I love the challenge of making something different!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719432822327081144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-74506728765707355842015-06-29T15:30:14.327-05:002015-06-29T15:30:14.327-05:00I have not heard of the hair oiling the tip of a p...I have not heard of the hair oiling the tip of a pin yet, but yet it seems reasonable! ha! I honestly would love to just sew with anyone and everyone, no one really in particular. With that being said, if I REALLY had to choose, it would be either Angela Pingel w/ Cut to Pieces or Rita Hodge w/ Red Pepper Quilts - they both inspire me with their desire for creativity and pushing their limits while remaining true to themselves, fun and normal ladies. <br /><br />I am very impressed with your quilts and items you have made, that Outside the Paint Box is my favorite, along with Confetti... but then oh, that lava one... squirrel! Ack, you have so many pretty things! I love your work and look forward to getting to see more of it!<br /><br />*Stopping by from the 2015 New Blogger Blog Hop - New Bee'sSew Stitching Cutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545858092448075925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-51053227333595046972015-06-22T08:02:04.748-05:002015-06-22T08:02:04.748-05:00Wouldn't it be wonderful to quilt with your Gr...Wouldn't it be wonderful to quilt with your Grandmother?!

I would love to spend a day quilting with my grandmother - she made me quilts when I was young, but unfortunately doesn't sew any more due to arthritis. In lieu of that I make sure to send her lots of photos of quilts I'm making.Eileen In Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198192865124932160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-6958261257828642042015-06-21T08:33:39.171-05:002015-06-21T08:33:39.171-05:00One of the best parts of blogging and social media...One of the best parts of blogging and social media…inspiring others!

Now for someone to sew with, I don't know, from the sewlebrities maybe one of the following; Weeks Ringle, Carolyn Friedlander, Jacquie Gering, Gwen Marston (and I am hoping to on QuiltCon) among others.

I signed up for Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs' Mystery Quilt-a-long and ordered more than the recommended quantities of fabric. Never heard of your needle tip before. One of the bloggers I follow, Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter seems like she would be fun to hang out with and also to learn from. I hope I get into her Strip Piecing workshop at QuiltCon.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302795052416332806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-91957752116041689292015-06-20T09:17:03.829-05:002015-06-20T09:17:03.829-05:00 I really love my solids and color or any kind is ...

Loved learning more about you and seeing more of your work. I adore your quilts, we definitely share a sensibility. I used to be a strictly solds girl, too but now am branching into prints. There are so many cool ones out now! If I could quilt with anyone for a week I think it would be a tie between Caryl Bryer Fallert, Weeks Ringle, Marianne of MariQuilts, or Hilary of Entrpy Always Wins. Or Amy Garro of 13 Spools; Icould list a few more I'm afraid. I have used the shsrpening pins in the hair thing for ages -it totally eorks, don't know why.

I think I may need to do something similar at some point. I'm yet to make a black and white quilt, and feel as though I should at some point. <br /><br />This might be odd, but I really wouldn't know who I'd want to spend time quilting with. It's such my escape from the world, that it would seem odd to include another person. None of my close friends quilt, but perhaps I could teach one or two of them. There are so many designers I'd like to meet, but I don't think I'd want to commit to a having to spend a week with a stranger.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418169224144166311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-10926906449157282242015-06-18T16:23:15.715-05:002015-06-18T16:23:15.715-05:00The black & white quilt was a very happy finis...
