Yes, I love all the fabric, thread, patterns, design, and color about quilting.

We love the feel of fabric and thread, patterns and design, and color. My problem is I have quilts mentally lined up to do and I want to get to them. But I know they will be there waiting their turn for my loving attention.<br />Your colors are wonderful!Pam's Applique Paintboxhttp://pamspaintbox.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-89952512680297229842016-05-23T08:43:47.624-04:002016-05-23T08:43:47.624-04:00Absolutely no stress!
