Nana,you ladies need a gold medal for your quilt making.They arw absolutely beautiful.The lines,colours and materials all seem to enhance one another.And thank you too threadz for allowing us into your album.Marvellous to say the least.Many moons ago,I think I remember a ladies Skirt made out of mens ties.Around that time,I was more interested in the wearers than the articals they wore.Oh I wish I had the patients to sew.Oh dang it,I think I will just stick to me knitting.Again Thank you ladies for your photo's.lollollol

Like Mona, I love the way you have the contrasting colours. Must go into your photobucket when I have finished these ones.smilesmilesmile

Wakey wakey Kailol

Just clicked on the lovely pics again Aggie and they went to the photobucket where I could see them better lol

That one sure is simialr to the one we have,,.

Just love the table runner no 18 bottom of the row with the fantails think it was ,,,, on Threadz one and the ones submitted by Nana awesome as well esp the bag....as with all the others,,

You ladies are so clever,, What a neat way to have R &R (Though I know its exacting work and not easy on the eye sight to do)))))

and be able to do Personal things for people...Think thats really neat....

Thanks so much for sharing


Cheers Kai
