Kathy hand pieced and is hand quilting this quilt...It is made up of 9, 20" blocks. The finish size is 68 with the border..While hand piecing she would take it to work to work on during breaks and lunch.. she was asked how long it took to piece a block...She had no idea, so she wrote down from start to finish...it took 40 hours to piece each block...That doesn't include the marking and cutting out all the pieces...in her words "needless to say, it is a labor of love... I forgot to ask her how long she has been working on this beauty...maybe she will comment and tell us...How about it Kathy???The Ol' Blogger

Gosh, it's been a while...something I pick up when not working on something else...I'd guess I'll have a good 10 years in the making by the time it's finished...
We are a group of women of different personalities and ages who blend together to make for an interesting and fun group. Our group is dedicated to creating art using various textiles and other mediums. Our interests include sewing, knitting, quilting, doll making, purse making, felting, beading, jewelry making, stained glass, glass blowing, glass fusing, mosaics, and altered books. We share our ideas and our time, to create items that are unusual, traditional and fun. Our fun meter is more important than our gas meter. We fill it at least once a month during our monthly meeting where we have show and tell to show projects we've completed, talk about new projects and share ideas. And the food!! As textile artists we are such lucky people. We find pleasure in simple things; the colors of hand-dyed fabrics, a spool of lustrous thread—we almost hyperventilate when we go through the door of a bead store! How fortunate we are to have passion to create and to achieve such satisfaction in what we do.
