BLOGGING FRIENDS

Oh you people make me laugh! Yes, I guess we quilters all think alike! Ask a quilter if she wakes up seeing stars and she will add the alternate blocks to the picture as well! (Referring to my last post). It seems we all think in geometric shapes. Math has never been my strong suit. When I took geometry in high school I remember my teacher telling me that I had a creative way of finding solutions. At the time I took it as a compliment. Now I realize he meant that I took the long way around to find the answer. In other words, I am slow! This probably still holds true for me today. But I do have fun!

Two of my favorite bloggers commented yesterday that they use cardboard templates and sew by hand. Luckily neither of them were insulted by my flippant comments. In fact one reason I love these two ladies is their sense of humor AND they laugh at me! We who think of ourselves as comedic love to be surrounded by people who laugh at our jokes! I know that sometimes I am not as funny as I try to be, but I can't stop myself. It's the way I was raised. You should meet my Dad!

Back to those two bloggers I mentioned: I met them on line when they each made my little tree pattern at Christmas.
Annamiek is from the Netherlands. You should visit her blog and see the funny correspondence she recently received from Marcus Fabrics. She really had me giggling!
Lea lives in Japan. The darling heart block pictured here is from Lea. She makes the neatest primitive quilts. She has such a joyful spirit. you will enjoy her work and her happy heart!
Blogging has opened up doors all over the world and we are fortunate indeed to find sisters that share our interests and encourage us in our endeavors. Really, I haven't had this many girl friends since high school! So ladies, if you want to use cardboard templates, you do whatever makes you happy. Thanks for stopping by!

It's fun to be part of an International Blogging Guild. :-)

Thanks for links to great blogs! I started my quilting life using templates, and quickly switched to cutting them from xray plastic instead of cereal boxes! I enjoy our faster methods, but I sometimes wonder if we aren't missing something along the journey. Not that grandma wouldn't have loved all the time-saving ideas, with her busy schedule! She probably had a few of her own, though. =)

As Susan just said, I started quilting using cardboard templates. Didn't know anything else. Not till 1990 when my DD got me into a quilt guild and opened a whole new world to me.

Yes, Now this little machine I'm using has given me a whole world of sisters in quilting. What fun to read what everyone is doing and get inspiration. Thank You Marcie.

Lea said...

Wow, Marcie, Thank you!I'm very honored to hear that.
I love sense of humor and your blog is full of fun with sense of humor. Your Dad must be a great guy. :-)

Haha, I'm still having fun! How can you ever insult us handpiecers and cutters:)
But seriously: I gave it some thought and you know what? The quilts I made using the "old" way are very dear to me. I touched every fiber and my heart is in every little patch, no matter if my taste changed during the process.I'll never part with thóse quilts.The "modern" made one is nice, but not as close to ME.
So my one foot is in the 21th century and my other will remain in, let's say the seventies?
Let's keep on laughing and teasing each other! Happy Valentinesday!:)

I just discovered your blog, and I love it! I am so interested in learning to quilt! I am going to take a class. You quilters have me so intrigued at what beautiful works of art you do.

Lea said...

Hi, Marcie, it's me again!
I tagged you on my blog. If you have time.
Have a wonderful President's day!
