My wife learned to make really nice quilts from watching her videos. Her quilts and her talent were impressive to say the least. If I was in the room I'd watch a little of it. She and her husband ran a quilting business. She was only 62.
I know no one here is likely interested in this but I thought it worthy of mention.
RIP Donna.

As far as I could tell all of her quilts were hand made.nefarious101 » 04 Apr 2025, 2:09 pm » wrote: ↑ sorry to hear about your friend
hand or machine made?
There used to be a guy from New York who would make a swing down through our state every year and buy up hand made quilts.
He would pay the older ladies quite handsomely for their quilts taking them back to sell back east.
he even organized quilting clubs for the ladies to increase production and of course their earning.

Thanks but we weren't friends. I never met her but she was quilter with a TV show my wife watched and I saw some of it.

Indeed, she practically taught my wife how to quilt.nefarious101 » 04 Apr 2025, 4:17 pm » wrote: ↑ ohhhh....well if you all watched her a lot it still gives you that feeling of loss

My wife's aunt was a quilter, her cousin's a quilter and our sister in law's one as well....and I always figured it was another thing that was on it's way out...every piece is a work of art...
And now on the lighter side...

by the time he went in, it took him an hour to crawl from the bedroom to the van in the driveway so the wife could take him in...his PSA was north of 1000...
