I'm sorry I haven't replied to everyone who sent me their condolences and some wonderful words of encouragement. Please know how much your thoughtfulness and support meant to me.
Needless to say I haven't been accomplishing much on the quilting front, but I thought you might like to see a photo of my very first applique quilt.
I was working at a small quilt shop in town at the time, and even though this was my first applique quilt they asked me to teach a class based on this design. This was my first introduction to teaching and I loved it. I met some fabulous people and found it so inspiring . I really missed it when I had to give it up while I was caring for Mom, but maybe I will be able to get back to it again.
Chat with you later.

One day, when I was quietly stitching, I could almost feel Mama smiling down at me. After that, I feel it often, and I smile back.
what a gorgeous quilt.
I hope you will find yourself and your love for crafting again once time passes a little.
It's beautiful! I find peacefulness when I am doing hand work. I hope you will too...it takes time. xo
Dorothy, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I felt that same way about my dad, like he was on vacation sometimes. It is good to see you are working on your applique again.
Hello,
I am absolutely inspired by your beautiful quilt. It is gorgeous.
TFS.

I just found your blog, Dorothy, I love your Santa quilt. I was wondering if there is a pattern available or is was bits and pieces from things you saw and things you imagines. I would definitively love to buy a copy of the pattern
Hi Marie Anne,
I made this quilt using many of Jan Kornfeind's (Country Appliques) patterns,and some of my own. I believe her patterns are still available.
