My favorite was the crazy quilt with the feather stitching. I mainly stuck to pillows and gave them as gifts for years to friends and family.<br />That pen pal idea is a keeper, too.Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-5115293414663291642009-06-29T15:43:44.603-05:002009-06-29T15:43:44.603-05:00Sounds like lots of fun!

I am taking a quilt class right now that should be fun, but I'm very critical of myself and I can't sew/draw/follow a straight line. You see my dilemma.

Fun stuff. Now on to the letter writing stuff. I LOVE to write letters and do it quite often. In fact I have a pen pal that I have written to for I think 37 or 38 years now.

But I made my fair share by hand stitching, and loved it. I didn't have a sewing machine until after I'd made probably five or so quilts. Then it was a vintage 1951 Singer! I loved stitching by hand because you could sit anywhere and do it. Need any advice on this new endeavor, just email me.<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-74077012697469596412009-06-28T16:03:31.911-05:002009-06-28T16:03:31.911-05:00Lots of inspiring things going on here today.
