That's probably why I enjoyed teaching Home Economics to middle school boys and girls for many years. Now that I'm not teaching, or sewing costumes for my daughter or flags for drill team, I can sew what I really want to sew...mostly quilts and simple, lovable dolls.Suzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10675327043978482394noreply@blogger.comBlogger3125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807375303117280998.post-77260817697317866772010-11-07T14:19:00.001-06:002010-11-07T14:36:15.821-06:00Fall PostCards in the mail!I love making quilted, or rather fabric postcards!

Hopefully I will have something interesting to post.<br />
<br />
I love to quilt - maybe I will have quilt pictures here.<br />
<br />
I love to photograph my surroundings. Maybe I will post pictures of my new adopted state, Arkansas. We moved here after retiring from teaching school in Texas. We love the four seasons here, and all the wildlife! I'll show you sometime....Suzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10675327043978482394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807375303117280998.post-63619041832982995372010-10-03T17:48:00.001-05:002010-10-03T17:59:37.239-05:00Valor Quilt<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ9kSYOZuXWzykmK-sGCJnZj7-9DoCZLN1EdFhSY7-YNQAo9IPyQmsBxF-s5qA4jLW7kW70GDzLwMJ9HIzIwWKi0uC9vjWAxvA0ceq34l3ID9w9Jb2dIIseg-Ot4sTMfTyb4Ra6LeJKcCL/s1600/P1020483.JPG" linkindex="27" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ9kSYOZuXWzykmK-sGCJnZj7-9DoCZLN1EdFhSY7-YNQAo9IPyQmsBxF-s5qA4jLW7kW70GDzLwMJ9HIzIwWKi0uC9vjWAxvA0ceq34l3ID9w9Jb2dIIseg-Ot4sTMfTyb4Ra6LeJKcCL/s320/P1020483.JPG" /></a>I enjoyed coming up with this quilt idea. I have made a few valor quilts, but this one is my favorite, so far. I used the flip-flop block template to create the waves. I'm looking forward to doing this again, but add a few rows and make it a little wider, too.</div></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">If you are interested in making a quilt for a wounded soldier, please visit this website: <a href="http://www.qovf.org/" linkindex="28">http://www.qovf.org</a>/</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" linkindex="29" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 50% transparent; border: 0px none; padding: 0px;" /></a></div></div>Suzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10675327043978482394noreply@blogger.com
