Wish I had used one of Patsy's pretty flower quilting designs (below) instead of the floor tiles as inspiration to quilt this 1930's style quilt. I was trying to be clever.
When my husband was ill and needed to relax, I'd put on a Patsy's quilting DVD so I could sit with him quietly and watch Patsy. He loved her voice -thought she was the bees knees.
I learned so much from Patsy. Her quilting DVD's are the best on the market - bar none.
Patsy takes you gently through all the stages and is a mine - an absolute mine - of information regarding machines, needles, threads, basting fabric and techniques.
If you read this Patsy, then I must tell you that at last - thanks to you - I have the confidence to use some of that lovely sateen you kindly sent me. Stephen was overwhelmed by you and Ernie's thoughtfulness and generosity towards us - complete strangers - at that dreadful time. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.
Have not 'moved on' - don't think that phrase is relevant to a deep personal loss. We don't completely recover. A residue of the pain will remain - always.

I am a great fan of Patsy's, for all the reasons that you mention. I only have 4 of her DVDs although more are on my wish list. I would love to know which one the flowers are on as they look great. You are right about the pain, it never completely goes away. Love the black as the binding on the scalloped edge quilt.
I am also a big fan of Patsy... it was through her DVD's that I was able to FMQ for the first time with confidence and I can now do feathers with ease! She's the best
Hi Babs,
