Nice reblog, Jennie. I left a Like on Tan’s blog.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you, Pete. Do you follow Geoff’s blog? I think you would love his British humor. He’s a dog lover, of course.
I am at my maximum follows, Jennie. But maybe one day.
I know what you mean. I can’t remember the last time I added a new follower. Best to you, Pete.
Thank you, Pete. Best to you.
nice!
Thanks!
Beautiful creatives
Thank you.
Tan has good taste, Jennie.
He does. Thank you, Don!
Aw thanks Jennie!
You’re welcome, Geoff. Your mother’s quilting is outstanding, plus she is a giver. She and Milly would have been friends.
Ah, not my mother, my wife! Though my mother did sew, she wasn’t a quilter!
Geoff, I apologize. Why I thought this was your mother… well, I can only blame it on wine or age. Please give my best to your wife. Honestly, her quilting is remarkable. It’s a shame that 3,000 miles gets in the way.
Not at all. I do the same, regularly. It’s just that after a few decades we’ve filled our brains so much that we need to defrag them to get more information inside. It’s a sign of a rich and full life!! Plus wine…
I fully agree!!
Thanks so much for sharing this, Jennie. I had for a long while followed Geoff’s blog but life forced me to cut back on my personal reading time so I let it go for a while. I just signed back up so maybe I’ll see more of his wife’s beautiful work. I so loved Millie and she will be missed forever.
I’m so glad you liked this, Marlene. I believe the quilts were made by his mother. I know what you mean about cutting back. We need more hours in the day, plus more energy. I dearly miss Milly!
I think there is a special place in heaven for quilters like Milly. I’ve always needed more hours in a day which is why I get up at 4 a.m. No one around and I get a lot done. 😉 Energy? What’s that? 😉
I throw you into that group of quilters with a special place for you in heaven. 💕 I also love being the first one up in the morning.
A wonderful article, by Geoff. I didn’t think, this would be such a great tradition in the Anglo-American world. I remember it from here, to a lesser extent. But more from tapestries from the Middle Ages. Its great! xx Michael
