PattyJo Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I was just at Mark's website and he is a very talented quilter. I live too far away to come to a class, but if he ever puts his class on DVD, I'll be in line waiting to get them. All of his classes sound good to me. So Mark, if you read this, you have a fan out in Oregon and think about making DVD's for those of us who live so far away from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebFigved Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 The picture doesn't do the quilt justice. I love butterflies and loved the quilt. I went to Paducah on Thursday. It was my first time. I took a plane chartered by the Sinnissippi Quilters Guild in Rockford, Illinois. This was a first!! They actually had to get a flight path registered wtih the FAA. They booked three full planes for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We were the first to arrive on Thursday. They even had TV cameras rolling to commemorate the event. I'm sure they'll have more flights next year. This was a great success and lots of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hi Quiltnut.. Gimpy is a nickname a lady uses on the internet... Guess I can say she is Helen, Lives in Tasmania, AU, and is head person on a chat site of quilters that once were on Home and Garden untill they crashed our site and wiped out our pictures we had there. If you don't know Gimpy, then you aren't on that chat board. We have a Quiltnutt on there too, though she may have only one T in nut. Thanks for letting me know.
