How long does it take to make a quilt?

"how long does it take to make a quilt?"

is my most often asked question

I used to answer this question
with a question

"well.....how big is your quilt?"

but I have learned my lesson
the next time I am asked that question

my answer will be
"well.......how many friends do you have?"

to the people that have come to sit and sew around the dining table
that have given their time
and their expertise
to help with samples
for
Hand Maker
for
Windham Fabrics

I offer my most humble thanks.

the list is long, and at the risk of omitting a name at this juncture
in #marketprep
may I just say, "you all know who you are"
until I can with a clear head compose the list of all of the names of all of the people
that have helped along the way

(it's true....my very first fabric line)

HappiestDays.

Road to California Countdown Giveaway - DAY 5

it's another giveaway!

Road to California Countdown


this post is different....it's time to remind you about 
b e y o n d   t h e   r e e f

the first thing to remember about "us" is this
when I say "we"
it's because I truly believe we all get there together
we are the sum of our parts
and for me that includes so many people...
I just wouldn't have made it to the finish line for "Road"
had it not been for a group of very good hearted quilters
from the 
Long Beach Modern Quilt Guild

thank you Francesca, Kim, Zina, Tami and Deb
we're also going to have demos in the booth
at
Road to California
we'll be posting about that too

and you'll even meet a few of these folks!
