Sue - I love your quilts! I was into quilting for several years but ended up putting it aside when my daylily craze struck. But seeing your beauties has really revived my interest, I think -- plus my legs are giving me problems so I can't do much in the garden these days. After this second knee replacement I hope that will improve, but with Covid who knows when that will be...

You have a great eye for color and I love your color blends -- especially that one that you blended from greens to blues. But they're all really beautiful, and I look forward to seeing more pictures in the future!

Thanks Betty! I hope you do get into quilting again and I get the part about aches hindering garden work, I have developed a left hip problem this year and it gives me trouble and lately, my left knee hurts too, maybe related, who knows. Sucks getting old! Sticking tongue out

Beautiful craftsmanship, Sue!

I always admire creative people who produce timeless treasures that can be passed on for generations. You have an artistic skill that radiates through your designs. I have 2 quilts that my grandmother made for me that, someday when they are mature enough to understand their sentimental value, will be passed on to my 2 sons and their families.

BTW, your garden is beautiful, too! They make a cold, dreary fall morning feel like summer again.

Thank you for sharing!
Ron
