I played with cars as a kid and not dolls, so it's been interesting having a girly daughter who loves purple and princesses (she's 5). Your farmer's wife progress is impressive - I've been enjoying watching all the variety that's out there on IG and whatnot. Also, happiest cat ever! You must be doing something right! ;)Karin Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02411303805050553168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694760279089599732.post-57638225129629390892014-07-28T22:58:23.330+08:002014-07-28T22:58:23.330+08:00Nice to meet you!

Beautiful quilts, love the rainbow one and I had to go and look for more photos of your Echo Beach one - that photo left me wanting more! Great colours and mixture of fabric in it. And I'm not a big paper piecing fan (slight lack of patience I think) but your deer cushion is gorgeous, and might definitely tempt me sometime. Lovely family photo too, your girls look so like you.Wonky Patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877163026017340681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694760279089599732.post-70666708274488692442014-07-22T20:15:37.147+08:002014-07-22T20:15:37.147+08:00hello and nice to meet you!

I have learned so much, and have had a lot of fun by being a joiner. Sewing can feel like a solo activity, but joining in other groups, bees, blog hops, makes it very social, and a lot more fun. Nice to learn a little more about you!
