  <description><![CDATA[I've loved patchwork quilts since I first made one out of a bag of scraps given to me by a friend in college as a challenge - I still have it! Here's a serendipity: I just finished reading 'The Chimneys of Green Knowe' by Lucy Boston (written in 1958) because in 'The Garden Against Time' Olivia Laing mentions going to a big house and garden that reminded her of Green Knowe, which I'd never heard of! it's the second in a series - do you know these books? It's a great book for your Studio's patchwork quilt makers because the grandma tells a story for each piece of cloth in her quilt.
My question is about her technique - the little boy cuts out pieces of paper and she sews the different cloth pieces onto the paper shapes. Do you know anything about this?
I also found out that Lucy Boston fixed up a Norman house called Hemingford Grey, near Cambridge, and if I didn't live in Missouri I'd go visit! She was a gardener and quiltmaker so I think you'd like her house too.
Thank you, I love listening to you every Friday.]]></description>

As $ dwindled, my work room was left behind with brown paneling that became a frame for each of my treasures ?]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I'm delighted at your discoveries in this crazy quilt. It reignites my years of quilt making. I belonged here, Rochester, NY, to a the largest quilt club in the country, think about 450 members there now. I was on the programming committee. I've made some, collected more, but at the same time ribbons, buttons, silk, embroideries, all vintage and antique. My work space is walled with vintage embroideries/small quilts, rescued at thrift stores.]]></description>
